News: Oh Michael Ironside, what would the video game voiceover industry be without you?

Vivendi Games has announced who will voicing the three leads in their upcoming Xbox 360 and PC shooter TimeShift.

Dennis Quaid (The Day After Tomorrow) will take on the starring role of Colonel Michael Swift. Michael Chinlund, last seen as the bad guy in Ultraviolet, will play the military overseer for Project TimeShift, General Mitchell. And finally, a favorite voice of video game developers, Michael Ironside (Starship Troopers, Total Recall) will voice Professor Krone.

For those that are a little shaky on who these characters are, Vivendi has also passed along a story outline:

In the game, players assume the role of recently retired test pilot Colonel Michael Swift, a man haunted by the tragic loss of his daughter. Driven to escape his misery, Swift accepts a unique offer from the US Government to test an experimental set of time-control devices and become the world's first Сchrononaut.' During the tests, he inadvertently alters the timeline and returns to a present changed beyond recognition. The democracy he left has become a fascist nightmare Ц and his knowledge of his time travel saga has made him an enemy of the state. Armed with the time-shifting Quantum Suit, Swift is now in the deadly race to fix the past, present and future.

We'll have more on TimeShift as it nears its September release.
