EXPERTISE

Having been in gaming and tech journalism since 2007, I've witnessed genres and franchises have their moments, and I've played and written about innumerable games in print and online. I'm a dedicated PC owner and gamer, I'm a passionate writer, and I care about facts as much as sentiment. That's allowed me to be:

- One of the first gaming reviewers on the original Den of Geek site.

- Editor of PCGuide.com, covering all things tech and PC-related (including hardware and peripherals essential for gaming).

- A freelance proofreader and fact-checker for Pearson

- A freelance writer for a multitude of online media and tech publications.

Kevin Pocock's Recommendation

"FPS and PVP fans growing tired or needing a break from round-based matches may enjoy checking out DayZ. It's a sandbox survival game where PVP matters, and you never know if a player will be friendly or a foe. You loot up, you survive, you don't get to extract, and the adventure is completely yours. Large maps to learn, plenty of unexpected moments to endure, and there's peace and relaxation in there, too (you can fish). It's not for everyone, but it's a good change of pace."

ESI Ranking System
We’ve created a ranking system to help you quickly know how good each gambling platform is. As gamblers ourselves, we know which factors matter most to you, so we follow a best-in-class methodology to test each one with no stone unturned. Once done, we then rank each platform based on the following tiers:
  • A-Tier High-quality sites that deliver a top experience every time. They boast strong performance, nice features, and reliable support, but are just shy of perfection.
  • B-Tier Solid platforms that are worth a spin. They’re safe, fun, and functional, but may be lacking advanced features or have minor drawbacks.
  • S-Tier Reserved for elite operators only. These go well beyond the norm with lucrative bonuses, rewarding promotions, lightning-fast payouts, and a flawless experience overall.
