About Sharon Smith

With over four years experience in the gaming industry, Sharon has covered all kinds of gaming content from listcles to news on the latest events.

She is a big fan of video game franchises like EA Sports FC 24, Roblox, World of Warcraft, Madden, FIFA, GTA Online, and NBA 2K.

Favorite Games

My favorite game is the Call of Duty franchise. There’s just something special about those slick military shooters in Call of Duty. Thanks to its adrenaline-pumping action, photo-realistic graphics and iconic weapons like the ACR and Intervention sniper rifle, you can never get tired of playing.

Industry Focus

As a listcle writer, Sharon covers all kinds of gaming lists including best-of, worst-of, and rank lists.

She knows how to breakdown complex gaming topics, maiking it easy for readers to digest easily.

Proudest Gaming Achievement

One of Sharon’s proudest gaming achievements was hitting a Relentless killstreak in Call of Duty, which for the uninitiated, means killing 20 enemies without dying.

It's one of the rarest and most difficult accomplishments in the game. It showcases exceptional skill, map awareness, and game sense.
