About Sharon Smith

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

She grew up with three older brothers who spent all day gaming, so love for games came naturally to her. She  found herself in discussion forums and blogs writing passionately about her favorite games, including League of Legends, EA Sports FC, Call of Duty, GTA, and NBA 2K.


Before joining GameRant, Sharon had written in HardcoreGamer and a couple of other platforms. 

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

I love writing listicles on just about any indie, horror, open-world, shooter and sports game. Whether it's a "Best Of," or "Ranked" list, I love covering it all. 

I have been covering these types of content for the past 4-5 years, so I have quite a number of them you can check out. 

Favorite Anime

My favorite anime game is Genshin Impact. It has a beautiful world, fun combat, great story and pretty cool characters.
