Tossing its hat into the stealth-action genre later this year is the GameCock published title, Velvet Assassin.

Our short demo took us through a mission midway through the game where the lead character, Violette Summer, was tasked with destroying a gas line. Jump in for our impressions of Velvet Assassin.

This week the BigCast returns to wrap up our favorite titles from PAX 2008. Dead Space, Mirror's Edge, Left 4 Dead and Fallout 3 are all hot topics this week as we close-out our PAX coverage. Heated battles ensue over the Battlefield Heroes Beta, Fallout 3's character models and the lack of a wing-man in Megaton. Also, the outtakes make a triumphant return with a live first viewing of a classic poorly acted line! We finally turn 10 in this BigCast!
