Video Game Heroine?

Sleuths in our forums have recently uncovered an interesting fact about some work Yvonne has been doing on the side.  Apparently, she’s dabbling in video game voiceover and modeling.

Mass Effect is a game from Bioware released in 2007. Fast forward two years later, and a new game in the series is coming out for the iPhone called Mass Effect Galaxy, which introduces the character of Miranda.

The game is intended to serve as a narrative bridge between the first Mass Effect and the upcoming Mass Effect 2 in 2010.

Yvonne provides the voice for Miranda, whom was also modeled after Ms. Strahovski. The screenshot above makes it incredibly clear; the profile looks exactly like Yvonne.

Though Miranda is slated to appear in Mass Effect 2, there is no confirmation as to whether Yvonne will reprise the role.

If you’re into gaming, it might be worth a look to get a digital Yvonne Strahovski fix.  I might have to check out Mass Effect 2 next year!

    No no, she did do the voice in the iPhone game. It’s unot 100% certain if she’ll be the voice in ME2 but seriously, logic says she will.

    I am by no means a gamer, but that’s pretty freakin’ awesome to have a character in an upcoming game modeled after her!

    Actually.. modification to that previous statement: I am by no means an avid gamer. Just a casual one.

    But the question is; Will Chuck and Morgan be playing the game next year and will they remark on how much Miranda resembles Sarah? Hilarious!

    Is it true that Carina will be back in season 3?

  14. Kormi says:

    Lol, and there I thought I was getting way too into her and hearing her voice everywhere, when I saw the videos from ME2. Well, great to have her there, I will definitely check the game out only for this, let alone the fantastic gameplay it should have… :-)

    Yvonne would make a great Samus Aran in the Metriod series.
