PC - Velvet Assassin - Contextual drug use ok in Assassin: Oz Classification Board Aussie ratings board clarifies its position on drug use in Velvet Assassin; says historical and medical context justifies in-game use of morphine.

The Australian Classification Board caused yet another stir down under last week, with Kotaku first reporting that upcoming stealth actioner Velvet Assassin had been given an MA15+ rating, the highest rating available for a game in Australia. The decision would ordinarily be unremarkable, except for the fact that Velvet Assassin contains morphine as a type of in-game power-up. Last year, Fallout 3 was initially refused classification down under because it showed positive effects from in-game drug use--specifically, morphine.

PC - Velvet Assassin - Replay Studios: Velvet Assassin's Breasts "Not Atomic" The company said it wanted to create Violette Summer as a "normal woman, not only in physique, but also in terms of her abilities." Imagine our surprise when we opened the attachment to find a sultry young woman with D-Cup breasts and a tiny waistline, wearing a nightie and holding a Luger.

It wasn't exactly what we had imagined a normal woman from 1940's France would look like, so we sent back a few questions to find out what the team meant by this statement.

PC - Velvet Assassin - Velvet Assassin Screenshots Feature "Normal Woman" "In a new glimpse at the star of the upcoming Velvet Assassin, developer Replay Studios stresses that Violette Summer is no Lara Croft or similarly disproportionate game babe.

A press release says the developers didn't aim to sensationalize the war against the Nazis. "An integral part of that mission was to provide players with an intriguing view of the war by portraying a strong, yet normal (emphasis theirs) woman, not only in physique - but also in the reality of her abilities.""

PC - Velvet Assassin - Velvet Assassin slips into early 2009 Eurogamer reports that Gamecock has decided to pull Velvet Assassin from October 2008 in favour of an early 2009 release.

This will bring the European launch in-line with the US, a spokesperson for the publisher told Eurogamer. And, handily, the move also avoids the routinely packed festive season while affording a little extra development time.

Velvet Assassin, formerly titled Sabotage, is the sneaky PC and Xbox 360 World War II game based on real-life British spy Violette Szabo, whose secretive and horrific past is relived while she lies motionless in a coma.
