It's here! Every June, thousands of gamers across the globe tune into their video platform of choice to watch hours of marketing presented as some sort of capitalistic holiday. This year, with the cartel of industry leaders putting their own show to pasture, only one man could crawl out of the rubble, Mountain Dew cans, and mountains of Doritos Dust to bring gamers the marketing menagerie they crave, and his name is Geoff Keighley.

At some point with a franchise you have so many entries that you completely forgo numbers and just start adding colons and subtitles. Assassin's Creed hit that point a long time ago, to the point that they are now completely skipping numbers and just doing all of them. 1, 2, subtitles, 3, 4, subtitles, every single number ever (infinity.) Do you think there will be another one after Infinity? Or will Ubisoft change the name after the leak last year. I'm banking on Assassin's Creed: Monetization.

After a week of watching GamesDoneQuick, I've been doing nothing but playing games quickly. Neon White dropped at just the right time. The game constantly asks to be played faster and faster and, oh boy, did it grab me real hard. I've gotten an Ace on every level I've played so far and I think I might actually try to 100% the game. It's the first time I've actively sought to play, effectively, a platformer on PC. There's some tricks I've landed that I am sure I would not have been able to get if I played on Switch.
Go play Neon White. It's really good.

Oh, and here's the news.

With Starfield and Redfall both delayed out of this year, Microsoft has no more first party for the rest of 2022. The Xbox and Bethesda presentation are coming up in about a month, so maybe more games will be revealed there? Perhaps the long-coming Forza Motorsport reboot? Fable? We'll have to wait and see.
