America’s “Crush”, Gina Carano, is set to appear in Red Alert 3 as Natasha.

Electronic Arts announced that rising star and undefeated EliteXC MMA fighter Gina Carano will be starring as Natasha, a deadly Soviet commando, in Red Alert 3, one of the most anticipated strategy games of the year coming to the PC and Xbox 360 this holiday season. Carano will not only appear in person and in high-definition as Natasha as part of Red Alert 3’s live-action movies, but will also be featured digitally as a playable unit in the game.

Very suited.

My personal fave – Hebe (S.H.E) for World of Warcraft in China

When not singing or filming, Asian celebs such as S.H.E, Jay Chou, Jolin Tsai, Rainie Yang and many more are doubling as spokespersons for many online games, MMORPGs or casual games. It’s a win-win (money) situation for both celebs and game companies. Hit the Linky to gawk at your fav Asian idol in gaming cosplay.

MotherLoad Of Celebs As SpokesPersons For Games In Asia, Ka-ching For All

Some celebrities prefer to bath in the limelight, while others prefer to bath at home and stay in home unless going out for filming. Is safe to tag these love-to-stay-home celebs as “Otakus“. Some star hunks such as Takeshi Kaneshiro (金城 武) and Taiwanese celeb, Vic Zhou (周渝民, 仔仔), are video games otakus. For Vic Zhou, his love for video games can push him to leave his house and search for game magazines in the streets (pictured above). Once his mission is completed, he will head back and hit his Wii, PS3, PSP etc for the whole day.

Chinese actress Fan Bingbing (范冰冰) stars in this “Dark Cool” (黑酷, something like Oreo) biscuits TV commercial. Reminds me of Lara Croft…with biscuits as weapons and a biscuits-loving King Kong.

I was perusing the archives of Ironic Gamer and came upon this gem from way back “in the day”; I figured it was worth giving it a second life.

Now, the righteous California Governor has made it clear that he had no relation with Conan, a video game (on 360 and PS3) by THQ.

Very ironic.

Spike VGA’s List of Winners

A new Chinese MMORPG “Chi Bi” （赤壁) or “Red Cliff” is into beta on the 18th this month. Perfect World Co. Ltd is behind this online game which is based on the famous “Romance of the Three Kingdoms”. What makes this game a worth is that it is associated with the US$80-million budget film – Red Cliff or The Battle of Red Cliff which stars many mega stars such as Tony Leung (Lust, Caution), Takeshi Kaneshiro (House of Flying Daggers) and Lin Zhi Ling (林志玲, Taiwan top model).

Takeshi Kaneshiro as the famous advisor, Zhuge Liang (诸葛亮）, in The Battle of Red Cliff but he just look too young to convince anyone.

Lin Zhiling’s first film, not bad-looking eh?

The handsome Tony Leung as the handsome Zhou Yu (周瑜）.
