Holly Valance to star in Red Alert 3 expansion

PC News | Another soap star graces EA's RTS series.
Australian's own Holly Valance, famous for her role in Neighbours and her pop music, will star in the upcoming Red Alert 3 expansion, dubbed Uprising.

The expansion, revealed only a few days ago, will be exclusive to the PC. Players won't even need to own the original game to play it, which is handy.

"I play a news reporter called Brenda Snow," Valance told Eurogamer. "She's investigating a research facility that might be doing some dodgy business, and thinks perhaps the president's involved. I interview him walking down a red carpet. He's played by Malcolm McDowell, which is super-cool."

Valance's character will fit right in with the rest of the cast, by the sound of it, by attempting to be as camp and cheesy as possible.

"[Snow is] a camp, over-dramatised character, it's not too serious. It was fun to go a little bit over the top," she added.

Red Alert 3: Uprising will be available to download at some stage in March. The game promises some interesting new features, such as the Commander's Challenge mode, as well as four brand new mini-campaigns. A price has not yet been revealed.

Sweet, shes certainly a cheesy (and hot) enough actress to fit in with the Red Alert theme icon_wink.gif And I can't wait to see Malcolm McDowell as the president. Sucks the expansion is going to only be available by digital distribution though..

Bah, Malcolm McDowell is far bigger news than the girl who's only famous for dancing nekkid while singing a song nobody remembers. It seems he's sticking to video game presidents these days.

Ya know untill googling his name to figure out who Malcolm McDowell was (Man Red Alert pick some **** awesome actors and I'm ashame I never recognised the name)

I'd never connected that Old man Malcom McDowel was Alex in A Clockwork Orange.

[EDIT]
HOLY **** HE WAS IN MAGIC SCHOOLBUS!

^ Are you serious? As DOA has proven that makes for a pretty **** movie and I can't think of any other movies where that sort of content has saved it's sorry ass.

I kinda like Holly Valance, she's hot and well....that's about it.

I won't comment on her acting career cuz quite frankly it doesn't really exist for me (did watch DOA but other than the fight scene in the rain that movie was pretty throw away).

The problem I had with these fmv cutscenes in Red Alert 3 was these idiots just sat there the whole time with their cheesy lines. It would've been better had they put in a little bit more production and had them at a few locations or even just up and about walking around or in action. It's too boring them just sitting around.

I think i'll pass on this expansion, i've only finished the Soviet campaign anyways and only about 1/2 way through the alliance or whatever they're called in this game, so still got a bit to do.

Might explain it for me, doesn't explain the 8.0 on metacritic icon_razz.gif

I'm going to start my own game reviewing site, review banjo N+B, give it a 0, watch the metacritic score fall back to the mid 70's, get my name back, and then.......then i'll be back where i was a week ago.
