If real-time strategy games aren't your cup o' tea, EA Games is hoping this hot little number from the Queen's land can convince you otherwise. Former Hollyoaks star, I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! survivor, and Maxim Beach Watch target Gemma Atkinson will play Lieutenant Eva McKenna, a communications officer with a "sexy twinkle in her eye and a British stiff upper lip," in their upcoming RTS Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3.

The game's plot centers around an alternate history based on a bunch of "What If"s, like what if Albert Einstein had a time machine and used it to go into the future? Answer: the best theory of relativity YouTube video ever.

Said Atkinson upon the announcement: "I'm a gamer and the chance to act in one of the best loved game franchises was an opportunity I was really keen to explore."

You can explore more of her this October when the game hits stores for the PC and Xbox 360. For now, enjoy these other hot photos of the Brit bombshell, courtesy of EA.
