Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "Ah the spin-off, the art of taking something that is readily established and turning it on its head to deliver something brand new and innovative yet is familiar enough to get fans excited. Video games are no strangers to the spin-off as a whole, with many game franchises even getting multiple layers of side-stories that have evolved into full series in their own right. So for this week’s edition of Link-Cable’s countdown series we’ve decided to check out the best spin-offs that gaming’s ever given us. The only rule we’re going by is only one entry per franchise is allowed to make the list."
Carl Williams writes, "Edutainment titles are a staple of gaming. Going all the way back the early days of both console and personal computer gaming. The problem edutainment has always faced is that it was OBVIOUSLY edutainment. Much like licensed titles, but worse, edutainment titles not only miss the mark in gameplay but content too. This is why Typing of the Dead is such a revelation for edutainment in general. All of the problems that edutainment titles have faced in the past are almost completely eradicated. How? Zombies."
