SB Bonus Round 43.5 (Replay) - Top 10 Best Games of 2002

Note - This episode was originally released in July 2025. I've decided to add prior Bonus Round episodes to the main feed, sequentially and on a 1-year-plus delay, so that EVERYONE can enjoy these fun, classic gaming banter sessions. Patrons will still get NEW Bonus Round episodes every month, so if you'd like to catch up on the last year of Bonus Round, head over to Patreon and support the show at the Fire Flower level or higher. ⁠⁠patreon.smashingbricks.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.patreon.com/smashingbricks⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hey Retro Gamers, welcome back to Bonus Round! These monthly podcast episodes are timed Patreon exclusives and are available at the Fire Flower level of support or higher. Each month, my guest and I will put together some sort of list, ranking, or otherwise fun conversation, usually related to that month's main episode. These will be released on the 28th of each month, and hopefully will be the dessert you've been missing after the main course episode two weeks earlier! The subject of our most recent episode, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, was a game from 2002, and both James Batchelor and I said that it was amazing. I wondered where such an impressive title might fall on our Top 10 Games of 2002 lists, so that's what Bonus Round 43.5 had to be about. Will you agree with either or both of us? If so, head over to Discord and tell everyone about it in the #bonus-round channel! On the other hand, if you can't believe what we said, head over to discord.smashingbricks.com⁠⁠ in the #bonus-round channel to assert the truth that only you can see! In any case I hope you enjoy it, and if you missed any of these games, maybe you'll be inspired to try one of them for yourself.
