Velvet Assassin – Morphine Makes Everything Better, Seriously

4:00PM AJ Glasser | There were several things that stayed with me long after I’d put down Velvet Assassin – the most vivid of which was the morphine. In this World War II stealth-action game, morphine acts sort of as bullet-time; when you botch a sneaking mission and your character Violette gets shot at, you can inject yourself with a syringe of the magic medicine which turns everything all orangey with little flower petals/red blood cells floating everywhere.
