8 Questions From The Penguin We Need Answered In The Batman: Part II
11.11.2024
It took backstabbing, a strangely motivating Oedipal Complex, and a trail of bodies all over Gotham, but Oswald Cobb (Colin Farrell) has finally limped his way to the top of the crime world (and the penthouse he promised his mother since killing his brothers as a young boy). But just because...
John Turturro Skipped DC's Penguin Series Due To All The 'Violence Towards Women'
23.10.2024
Last month, The Penguin premiered on HBO to rave reviews. The DC series starring Colin Farrell as the titular criminal character is a spin-off of WB’s 2022 The Batman. However, while Farrell returned for the series, another actor, John Turturro, didn’t. And he recently said it’s because he doesn’t...
The Penguin Is About Sofia Falcone, Actually
15.10.2024
For most of the latest episode of HBO’s The Penguin, Sofia Falcone (Cristin Milioti) suffers at the hands of men. We learn how she was forced into Arkham Asylum by her father after she questioned how her mother died, and was then repeatedly violated by the male doctor there and stripped of...
The First Episode Of The Penguin Is Colin Farrell At His Best
20.9.2024
The opening scene of The Penguin, HBO’s The Batman spin-off series set in the comic book universe Matt Reeves created, is so good I watch it several times before continuing on to the rest of the episode. Colin Farrell plays the titular Penguin (whose name has, strangely, been changed from Oswald...
The Penguin Series Is So Much More Than A Batman Comic Book Show—It’s A Crime Epic
12.9.2024
From the moment Colin Farrell limps into frame as the scarred and strange Oswald Cobb, it’s clear that The Penguin is going to be special. Set immediately after the events of 2022’s The Batman, the HBO limited series tells the story of the infamous villain in a grittier, more grounded version...
13 Years Later, Gears Of War 3 Multiplayer Is Still Divinely Disgusting
23.1.2024
In September 2011, I was a college junior very willing to waste away the early days of her fall semester playing Epic Games’ new third-person shooter, Gears of War 3. I pre-ordered the highly anticipated title so I could guarantee I got the gold Retro Lancer skin for my multiplayer battles,...

17.12.2023
On the heels of The Game Awards, this week saw the launch of two expansions for fan-fave games: God of War Ragnarok and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. We also took a meaty deep dive into Analogue’s latest and greatest new retro console and did a year-three rundown on the state of the PS5.Read more
Pokémon Scarlet And Violet: The Indigo Disk: The Kotaku Review
14.12.2023
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s second DLC, The Indigo Disk, is a far less damning encapsulation of the base game than The Teal Mask expansion. The second half of The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero embodies the best parts of Scarlet and Violet—even if it never quite matches its highest highs. It’s still...
Pokémon Scarlet & Violet - The Teal Mask: The Kotaku Review
14.9.2023
I’ve put over 120 hours into last November’s Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, and I think at some point between then and now, I must have mentally suppressed just how poorly these open-world Switch games run. Either that, or their first DLC, The Teal Mask, is somehow worse at holding itself together...
