What Velvet Assassin is
Velvet Assassin is a shooter game developed by Replay Studios and released in 2009. It was published by Gamecock Media Group. It is available on Xbox 360, Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows).
The premise, in the publisher's words
Inspired by the fascinating story and unbreakable spirit of British secret agent Violette Szabo, players take control of Violette Summer, a beautiful World War II spy deep behind enemy lines with no support or official backing from the British Government. Intense stealth action game play with a startling real-time lighting system and surreal visuals combine to produce an incredible gaming experience. Through third person game play, sneak up on enemies and pull the pins from their belted grenades. Infiltrate a Gestapo prison and slip cyanide to your own men before the Germans make them talk. And slink through the shadows to finish off your unsuspecting enemies with a single, silent move…
How it plays
It is played from a third person perspective. Its themes are action, historical and stealth. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component.

What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Singlecore CPU with 3GHZ, 512MB RAM and Pixel Shader 3 Graphics Card with 256 MB VRAM (Geforce 6800 or ATI X1600).
