Velvet Assassin model not just a pretty face, voices character in-game, more

What's a gaming expo booth without a "booth babe," really? Gamecock of all people understand this, and decide to bring along their own -- a leather-clad, pistol-wielding model dressed like Velvet Assassin's sneaky protagonist Violette Summer.

The surprise: the lady in question is no mere model/actress hired off the street. We were surprised to learn that Melinda Cohen (picture above) not only looks the part, but acts the part, too -- literally. Melinda provides the voice for Velvet Assassin's in-game character in not one, but two languages: German and English (she's fluent in both languages).

On top of that, Melinda also did motion capture work for Velvet Assassin. So when you're bending a guard back to stab him deep in his chest ... yeah, that's totally her. 

Look for more of Melinda in some upcoming live-action Velvet Assassin promotional spots; Velvet Assassin hits Xbox 360 and PC this fall.
