Gemma Atkinson to act in Red Alert 3 News

PC Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese

5 August, 2008

EA has signed Gemma Atkinson of Hollyoaks fame-shame to act in Red Alert 3.

She will be filling the uniform of familiar character Lt Eva McKenna, an Allied communications officer with a "sexy twinkle in her eye and a British stiff upper lip", according to the statement.

"I'm a gamer and the chance to act in one of the best loved videogames was an opportunity I was really keen to explore - especially as Eva is such a strong female character," said Gemma.

"The worlds of gaming and film are getting ever closer and as an actress I wanted to explore this exciting new area of drama, broaden my acting skills and continue the active, outgoing side of my personality that I showed in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!"

She's showed plenty more than that, and has a full photo shoot of her as McKenna plastered in the pages of Zoo magazine this week.

Red Alert 3 will be out on PC and Xbox 360 this autumn, with the recently halted PS3 version to follow.

Head over to our Red Alert 3 gamepage for all the shots and footage so far.

Uh oh, normally when a game starts reaching for glamour models, it's a sign the devs/publishers realise it's going to be fairly shit - or mediocre at best. Saints Row 2, Kane & Lynch, etc...

Maybe she'd like to take a pull on my Ion Cannon. Pnyuck Pnuck, Pnarr, Pfnarr.

Cracking whammers and probably a nice girl, but the idea she's pushing any boundaries is risable. Unless she gets her dirty rat out when you complete the game. Now that would be revolutionary.

I'd err... love to harvest... err... tiberium from her fields.... and use it to increase production of my aerial troops?

Clearly I need to play more C&C before I can join in effectively.

She has a voice that could strip paint and a face to match. Makes Tera Patrick being in Saints Row seem a credible decision.

Shame, she's still not as hot as the old Eva. Why couldn't they get her back? Eh? Eh?

And if Yuri isn't in this i'm going to cry. Tears of WRATH!!!

Mate you either have really high standards or a boyfriend. Two words. Mammoth. Chesticles.

These added to the face of the girl at the local pul that looks like she could trouble Peugot by actually being the ride of your life. Then add her husky northern tones describing big surges and mammoth hardware.
Videogame gold.

Nice ladies, but will it just ruin the cutscenes?

Agree with the chap about Stalin's mistress in RA and the reporter at the end of the first game. RA2 can piss orff!
