Are there any good video game spin-offs into a completely different genre?
Look, we all know Mario has loads. You don’t need to say it.

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.
