14 DAY TRIAL // Electronic Arts has officially unveiled the Uprising expansion for Red Alert 3, which is set to be released in March and pick up from where the single player campaign left off. And now it seems that the publisher is also picking up the habit of introducing very attractive ladies for the full motion videos that will be featured in Uprising, by introducing Australian Holly Valance, who will join the line up of the original game, which featured such beauties as: Gemma Atkinson, Kelly Hu or Ivana Milicevic.
Talking to Eurogamer, Holly Valance said that she would “play a news reporter called Brenda Snow. 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. It's a camp, over-dramatised character, it's not too serious. It was fun to go a little bit over the top.”
The music star turned actress turned object of interest for the players of Red Alert doesn't have a lot of gaming credentials. She admits to playing her Nintendo Wii and to owning an Xbox 360 from Microsoft and a PlayStation Portable from Sony. It's not clear whether the future star of Uprising has played Red Alert 3 or plans to spend some time with the upcoming expansion.
Holly Valance has both a singing career and has starred in several movies, including one based on the Dead or Alive series of videogames (you can see the poster in the picture accompanying this article) and the thriller Taken, which was released to positive reviews in 2008, where she starred alongside Liam Neeson. She was born to a Serb father and a British mother and is 25 years old. Holly Valance says that she even played Dead or Alive preparing for the movie.
