It’s always refreshing to see a game without a number or subtitle on the box, especially a good old stealth title. Snake has grown old and Splinter Cell Conviction is taking too dammed long to get released, so anything to keep the genre going is welcome. Which is why Velvet ...

Beautifully Stylized Game
(

I must admit that I am a sucker for stealth games. I have loved the Hitman series since the first one (and managed to 1000 the 360 game, which took several patient hours), and in this way Velvet Assassin should be right up my alley. Initially the visuals are striking ...

A Fun, If Flawed, WWII Journey
(

Velvet Assassin is the story of British Intelligence agent Violette Summer, a character "based" on real life Special Operations Executive (SOE) agent Violette Szabo. I use the term based lightly because, in reality, there is very little in common between the two people. The game tosses all those silly things ...

Most every game, like it or not, falls into one of several well established genres. There isn’t anything necessarily wrong with this either. Sometimes I want a shooter, sometimes I want to race, sometimes I want to grind for meaningless stats while listening to spiky haired protagonists say ‘…’ With ...

Simplisity has never really been a problem for me in gaming. A game is too easy to beat? fine, beat it forget it, but this is the first time in a game where simplicity actually frustrates me. You will be sneaking up on some of the most dumbest ...

Fun stealth action that's held back by uneven difficulty.

It’s hard to get stealth games right. With games like Metal Gear Solid and Splinter Cell doing it so differently, it’s hard to say which game does it the best. Velvet Assassin doesn’t try to re-invent the stealth genre, but it does go back to the old school ways that ...

Truly Terrible Game
(
X360
)
Even the early stealth games weren't as tedious as this affair is. While the main character looks nice and I do like the environments, the AI of the enemies is baffling and the game is just another in a long line of the usual "trial and error" gameplay, which is ...
