I'm busy playing Tales from the Borderland - which is a Telltale Games style adventure game set in the Borderlands universe and I'm really enjoying it. In a way that the original FPS-RPG Borderlands games didn't seem to do for me - this game has really made me enjoy and appreciate the Borderlands setting.

I must admit, when I first heard that Telltale was doing an adventure game based on Borderlands I was quite sceptical. But they pulled it off brilliantly and have made me appreciate the original FPS games a bit more.

What other change of genre spinoffs of a familiar gaming universe have you enjoyed?

Another example I can think of is C&C Renegade - which was a FPS spinoff based on the RTS Command and Conquer universe. Although it had a mixed reception I quite enjoyed it.
