Espionage

Velvet Assassin is a stealth game from Replay Studios published through Southpeak Games set in World War 2. You play a female assassin/spy who performs stealth missions behind enemy lines during the war. The game is very much like Thief and Splinter Cell, with only a special "morphine mode" to distinguish it, allowing you special moves and limited invisibility. Despite not being a big budget game, Velvet Assassin offers rare hardcore stealth gameplay in a unique setting for the genre with nice graphics and good controls.

No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way. NOLF2 was developed by Monolith Productions. You are Cate Archer, super-spy. Use stealth, wits, gadgets, and guns to meet your objectives. Don't muss the hair.

Evil Genius is a tongue-in-cheek take on the 60's spy thriller genre offering the player the chance to play the villain himself and control a secret island fortress complete with powerful henchmen, loyal minions and a wide range of hilarious gizmos, gadgets and traps.

XIII is an FPS developed and published by Ubisoft. Closely based on the Belgian comic book series of the same name, and featuring an extremely stylized comic book look and feel, you play as a man with superhuman combat skills and some limited ESP, as well as amnesia and a tattoo on his shoulder that says "XIII," and must discover your identity and past, while simulaneously being hunted by the FBI as a suspect assassin and by a group of contract killers for reasons unknown.
