Good grief. Eurogamer’s Ellie Gibson – clearly flush at winning a GMA – has told Red Alert 3 “babe” Gemma Atkinson to “put plasters” on her nipples and asked her if she’s “a bit gay”. There’s a video interview here.

Ellie’s questions, among others:

• Who do you think’s fitter out of you and me?
• Red Alert 3: have you played the game?
• Tim Curry is in the game as well. I’m very erotically aroused by him. Did you get to work with him?
• I like Lara Croft. Do you think that makes us a little bit gay?
• I’m a videogames journalist, obviously, so I’m adored by millions of teenage boys, much as yourself. How do you cope with it?

Legendary. Gemma appears to enjoy it, luckily. Take a look.

According to this BBC report, more than 70,000 people turned up to EA’s London Games Festival “Be the One” event in Trafalgar Square last week.

The shindig took place under what’s thought the be the largest temporary structure ever put up in the square – fancy – and saw the launch party for Red Alert 3 as well as performances from McFly, Natasha Bedingfield, and The Automatic.

More through there, including Gemma Atkinson talking about her acting role in Red Alert 3.

Gemma Atkinson in her uniform. That’s pretty much all you need to know. Other actors shouting about the “Commies,” crushing the Empire and whatnot. To be honest, the whole thing looks like a ton of fun.

According to this Eurogamer piece, you can now download a Gemma Atkinson theme for your 360 now.

For a meagre 150 MS Points, you can have the Red Alert 3 starlet draped over your blades forever and a day. Oddly, she’s dressed in a flimsy white thing, which bears no relation whatsoever to the game itself. Not really in keeping with her character, is it?

Ex-Hollyoaks lady Gemma Atkinson is being “touched up” for Red Alert 3, as you can see in this BBC behind the scenes look at the game’s development at EA LA.

“Right now I’m doing a little colour correcting to bring out [Gemma's] beauty even more,” said the game’s visual effects supervisor.

The Gemma bit’s at about 2.00 in that movie.

On CVG. We could write words, but we won’t. The poor love appears to have lost her trousers.

Ex-Hollyoaks woman Gemma Atkinson is to appear in Red Alert 3 as Lt Eva McKenna. So there you are.

“I’m a gamer and the chance to act in one of the best loved videogames was an opportunity I was really keen to explore – especially as Eva is such a strong female character,” said Atkinson in a statement.

“The worlds of gaming and film are getting ever closer and as an actress I wanted to explore this exciting new area of drama, broaden my acting skills and continue the active, outgoing side of my personality that I showed in I’m A Celebrity.”

No words necessary, really. Press release after the link.

Says so here. Play.com’s Gian Luzio reckons demand for the Wembley show this weekend has been good.

“The tickets have been selling really well,” he said. “We are looking at in excess of 20,000 people. There’s been a lot of consumer demand for the event, which will enable people to get their hands on games before they’ve been released, and so we’re really happy.”

Luzio said this will be the first in what he hopes will be a yearly event.

“At the moment there isn’t much of a gaming event in the UK that brings together all of the different games publishers and their offerings for the consumer,” he added. “So this is the first of a yearly show that we hope to put on, which will have the whole breadth of entertainment from games, music, and film for the consumer.”

In case you missed it, Gemma Atkinson, her from Hollyoaks with the tits, is going to be there. That’s all you need to know, really. If it isn’t, have a look at the official site.

Just as Friday reached the afternoon deathzone, Gemma arrived to brighten up our lives. Apparently, Gemma’s waps are so massive they get in the way of her Wii-playing, so much so she’d like to create a range of bras for ladies that share her predicament.

“I have to wear two bras when I go running at the gym so I’d love to design a range of sports bras for big-breasted women, something sexy not plain,” she said. “It’d definitely be handy for strapping them in when jumping up and down with the controllers.”

The “gorgeous 23-year-old” is presenting Play.com Live next weekend. Assuming she can manage to navigate the microphone past her tits, obviously.

“I win every time I play the Wii,” she added. “I’m the champion at the bowling game. I love it because all the family can get involved so it’s great to play on a Saturday night if everyone is round.”

Imagine us physically pulling a sad smiley face. There we are.

Vivendi has just told us that Ghostbusters is to have a “presence” at Play.com Live, but wouldn’t say what it was. A rep described the showing as an “interesting angle”. Make of that what you will. The Terminal Reality-developed game has a release date of autumn 2008, and hasn’t been seen outside of NDAs, a tiny trailer and five screens, so keep your eyes open for more later this month.

Her with the “extended” chest off Hollyoaks and Iain Lee are going to be hosting the event, apparently. We’d like to make a “joke” about Gemma getting “slimed” but we won’t, because that would be sexist and wrong. The two day show is being held at Wembley Stadium on March 15-16.

Sega, EA, Activision, Microsoft, THQ and Ubisoft are all signed up, and attendees can expect to see LEGO Indiana Jones, Ghostbusters, Condemed 2, Sega Superstar Tennis, Rock Band, LittleBigPlanet and DeBlob, among other stuff. Wouldn’t it be awesome if a Rock Band release date announcement for Europe was imminent?

The following bands will also be playing:

Saturday 15 March

• Elliot Minor
• The Rumble Strips
• Vincent Vincent and the Villains
• Beth Rowley

Sunday 16 March

• We Are Scientists
• You Me At Six
• Go:Audio
• Saving Aimee

Hopefully that means something to you. In addition, a raft of celebrities will be on show, including, um, “Tara Palmer-Tomkinson – business woman and IT girl”, famed gamer and Michelin-starred chef Jean-Christophe Novelli and rugby player George Skivington. Who’s bang into games.

Press release, including pricing info, after the link.
