Are there any good video game spin-offs into a completely different genre?

The VG247 crew is back to decide on yet another Best Game Ever. In this week’s show we’re looking at games that are spin-off from a game in a totally different genre. So, things like how Mario Kart is a ‘Mario’ game but not a 2D platformer that the series became famous for. You get the idea. As always, our host Jim Trinca makes a complete mess of picking the correct winner, but you can be the judge of that without me, a simple person writing these description, influencing you.

Special thanks to David Bulmer for performing “Jim’s Theme”.

“What is the Best Games Ever Show?” you ask? Well, it is essentially a 30-minute panel show where people (Jim Trinca and associates – hopefully including Tom, as she’s the star, let’s all agree on that) decide on the best game in a specific category. That’s it. It’s good. Listen to it.

Come back in a week for another exciting instalment of the Best Games Ever Show.
