Sonic Fans Might Want To Go See The New Transformers Movie On Day One
16.9.2024
Transformers One wasn’t even on my radar before this morning. I’ve seen a few of the Michael Bay films but the Transformers craze mostly passed me by as a child. Even when Overwatch 2 had its collaboration with the series I was unmoved despite over a thousand hours in that game. But Paramount...

10.6.2024
2005’s Shadow the Hedgehog game is a fever dream to look back on because of its dark tone, a striking departure from Sonic series norms. It included swearing in its dialogue, had its titular antihero use vehicles when it would have been faster to run, and most infamously had him using firearms...
Five Years Ago, The First Sonic Movie Trailer Broke The Internet
30.4.2024
Looking at the original trailer for the live-action Sonic the Hedgehog movie is like looking into a portal to a different timeline, one where the film itself likely doesn’t herald the arrival of a massively successful film franchise that eventually spawns a bad Paramount+ spin-off. At best,...
The Knuckles TV Show Has A Wild Reference To Sonic ‘06
26.4.2024
I didn’t love the Knuckles show, but as a long-time Sonic fan, one of its six episodes stuck out to me for a few reasons. One, it’s easily the most representative of the show’s problems with excluding its titular hero, but it also drops a huge lore bomb in the wildest way possible. It all ties into...
The Internet Reacts To The Knuckles Show
26.4.2024
The Knuckles show is out today on Paramount+. As Kotaku’s resident Sonic (eh, Shadow, really) sicko, I did not like it! I gave it a broadly negative review and was especially caught off guard by how little the titular punch-throwing echidna is actually in it. Now that the show is available...

After years of speculation, it was revealed that The Matrix, John Wick, and Cyberpunk 2077 star Keanu Reeves is voicing the broody antihero Shadow in Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Reeves had been a fan-favorite to play Shadow in Paramount’s live-action adaptation since the character debuted in Sonic...
