"This industry man," a wide eyed, possibly stoned, game developer once told me, "is the next form of high art. I mean, look at the things we can do man, we can do anything we want!" And so it shall be. EA has today announced that the actress Emmanuelle (no, not that one) Vaugier will be appearing in the upcoming Need For Speed Carbon.

"Being able to work in a video game for the first time and working with the Need For Speed Carbon team at EA has been a great experience for me. This is a game that evolves the racing genre, and I'm thrilled to be a part of it", doubtlessly wide-eyed, enthused and somewhat richer Vaugier said. "Playing the role of Nikki allows me to take a completely fresh approach to acting and push the boundaries of the creative process." Yes, being animated and saying a few lines really pushes the genre.

Now, go and image search this girl and when you return, doubtlessly with a new background wallpaper, tell me in five words or less exactly what merits Ms Completely Fresh Approach was chosen to take the role upon for.
