Gemma Atkinson to act in Red Alert 3 News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PC Xbox 360

Hollyoaks star dons military garb.

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.

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.

Bah.. This is 2008 and yet nothing has changed since 1995. Cheap entertainment for the.. Oh wait a minute. Why not cast Rowan Atkinson instead and turn Red Alert into a Blackadder-esque rts? That would be fun.

Spoken like a true person with little experience of real women. Mammoth Breasts in 9 out of 10 cases means a fat bird.

Dunno who you've been pulling, but I know quite a few gorgeous birds with humungous funbags, and they're anything but fat. And on topic, yeah, she'd get it.

I'm with kinky_mong on this one. There are of course always exceptions, but on the whole less is more (within reason).

Iirc, Vic and Bob put it best.

"I prefer the pendular swinging melon, whereas Bob here prefers the pert french breast"

Me, Bob Mortimer and kinky_mong stand alone.

Redeye, go and stand next to Vic.
