College football recruiting heats up as Penn State, Ohio State, Miami, North Carolina, Florida State, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and more programs land high-profile commitments during a flurry of June activity. And oh yes, the rumors are flying for Notre Dame after its big recruiting weekend. Brian Smith spotlights elite prospects like Brayden Booth, Deontay Malone, and Jaxon Holly, breaking down which schools are striking gold and which blue bloods risk losing ground. Surging classes from upstarts Kentucky and UCLA spark questions: Are these surprise contenders for the next playoff shake-up? Recruiting's best closers come under scrutiny—can Mario Cristobal, Dan Lanning, or Marcus Freeman deliver when it counts most? Brian Smith examines Texas A&M's national reach, Auburn's defensive reload, and Miami's latest secondary standout Andre Hyppolite. Hot-button topics include NIL-driven flips, commitment uncertainties, and which conferences offer the best launchpad for rising head coaches.

In this week's episode of The Game Informer Show, we rave about Donkey Kong Bananza on Switch 2, which shines on the new Nintendo console, and the complicated Pac-Man Metroidvania called Shadow Labyrinth. We also recommend a great new stealth game, Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream, praising it for its gorgeous art direction and brilliant final act. Finally, Charles rounds out the podcast episode, briefly chatting about the Bravely Default HD remaster and a house-decorating Picross-like puzzler called Squeakcross.The Game Informer Show is a weekly podcast covering the video game industry.
