The one off the new film, not Nimoy.

The man who played Mr Spock in the recent Star Trek movie is to lend a hand with the new videogame.

The announcement was made at the Spike TV Video Game Awards (as watched by Kotaku). Zachary Quinto, as he's called in real life, will be "teaching fans how to explore the Star Trek Online universe, improve their characters, attain higher ranks, and succeed in space combat".

Star Trek Online is due to launch in Europe on 5th February. Visit the gamepage for all the latest info.

That's pretty awesome stuff. As long as he doesn't go all Sylar and start telling you to kill your allies to get their powers, obviously. Can't wait to hear him teling me to do stuff like take it to max impulse.

Leonard's voice is awesome, I don't know if this dude will make a good narrator.

I read the title and thought: "Woohoo! Leonard Nimoy!" Personally, I would have liked that more, but okay, next best thing I guess. Will be getting this.

It'd be quite humorous yet eerie if he freaks out at some point in the tutorial and goes MY NAME IS SYLAR.

At once a million Star Trek fans shouted out in joy and were suddenly silenced.

Along as he reads it in a deadly Sylar voice, it should be good!

Leonard Nimoy was a brilliant narrator for Civilization 4. When you researched satellites he would just quote Sputnik: "Beep...beep...beep..."

I bet that alot of people in particular the masses, will see the new star trek film as 'the star trek film' and totally forget about the ones that came before it. In which case 'Zachary Quinto' is there spock and leonard nimoy will drift into obscurity atleast in terms of spock refrences, so every game going forth will have Chris Pine as kirk etc.

Shame, but the trurth i think.
