Oh, and as reported earlier, Stalin vs. Martians was delayed from last week and pushed to this week, so watch out for that as well. Read more…

New Velvet Assassin Levels Revealed

by Chelsea Thompson on October 23, 2008 at 10:35 am

As any FPS fan can tell you, the game market these days is oversaturated with World War II games. With Call Of Duty: World at War on the horizon, it seems like it’s a trend that shows no sign of stopping any time soon.

However, there’s one WWII-themed game coming out that will bring you a different perspective on this tired-out subject: Velvet Assassin. Instead of being a soldier on the front lines, you play through the game as a female spy. Focused mainly on stealth, you might find this game breathes some new life into a war that has practically been beaten to death. Read more…

Gamecock’s “Sabotage” Videogame Renamed “Velvet Assassin”

We just received word that Publisher Gamecock and Hamburg Germany Developer Replay Studios have changed the name of the stealth-action game we first experienced at last years EiEiO Conference in Los Angeles CA titled “Sabotage” to “Velvet Assassin”.

“Rather than a trite, overused, and generic working title like ‘Sabotage,’ ‘Velvet Assassin’ captures the heart of what we’re trying to accomplish,” said Sascha Jungnickel, Creative Director at Replay Studios.

Being that the main character is an attractive dark haired woman by the name of Violette Szabo who boasts a mean killing streak, the new title resonates well with us. Full press release after the jump. Read more…
