Malcolm-McDowell posts

Actor Malcolm McDowell is no stranger to being in live-action video game movie sequences. Fans of the Wing Commander series may remember him playing the role of Admiral Tolwyn. A lot has changed since the 90's, the least of which being the huge leap to HD video technology, which is clearly demonstrated in this video. Now McDowell returns to video games in Red Alert 3 - Uprising as Rupert Thornley, president of the European Union. Uprising is a available now exclusively through digital retail. You can play to see if you agree with Mr. McDowell about how it's "the envy of all other RTS games." Or you could just read the review.

We were told last week that Electronic Arts' upcoming downloadable stand alone RTS game Command and Conquer Red Alert 3: Uprising would have some new cast members for its live action cut scenes. Today Eurogamer revealed one of those new actors: Holly Valance, who plays a reporter with the almost porn-like name of Brenda Snow. The Australian-born actor is best known in the States for her recurring role in Prison Break and for playing Christie in the Dead or Alive movie (which we secretly love, by the way).

In Eurogamer's brief interview with Valance she also revealed yet another actor that will appear in Uprising; none other than Malcolm McDowell who has perhaps made more B-grade movies than anyone alive and has been good in all of them. We won't mention his character since it might be considered a spoiler for Red Alert 3's storyline. Just trust us on this.
