What better person to teach you how to play Star Trek Online then Spock himself?  Zachary Quinto will be lending his voice to the game as Spock teaching you how to play the game. I know some old school fans think Leonard Nimoy is the one and only Spock but I thought Zach did a great job in the movie and it's good to see that they'll use him in the game in some aspect.

The game's set in 2409 and will let you galavant around the universe exploring strange new places, seeking out new life and new civilizations, and going boldly where no one has gone before. It's set for release on February 2, 2010 in the US and February 5, 2010 in Australia and Europe.
