Digital Devil Saga for me. Angel's VA was epic.

i got to agree with that


but im going to put my bet in for Bioshock

Must be the GTA series, mostly San Andreas. Can you name a game with better and more popular voice actors than SA?

Capt. Picard in oblivion. What a legend!

Amen!

 

[gjkdioepppp]

the cast of sonic heroes

try saying that with a straight face!

Where have you heard your favourite voice acting?
I cant go past the entire MGS series with its cariacatured snake, (David Hayter) and then Crisis Core on PSP was pretty well done too, thoughts?

Damn, I saw the thread header and that was my first thought too.

Every cutscene with O.G. loc was a gem... 'I din't care what you've heard, I ain't nobody's ass technician!'

an odd choice, but I loved the voice work done for battlefield: bad company. some of that game had me in absolute fits of laughter and the little joke videos they put on xbox live were hilarious as well

James Woods was that CIA guy and Chris Penn was Samuel L.'s partner (it's been so long since I've played I can't remember character names)

EDIT - Forgot to actually answer the topic! I'll second San Andreas for favourite voice acting cast list

Rose was in SA????????

 

[Matronadena]

all of mass effect " except male shep, something about him was to dry"

GlaDos.. that will never be beat.

 

[Sonicron]

Not in any particular order:

- Dan Southworth --> Vergil, Devil May Cry 3
- Armin Shimerman --> Andrew Ryan, Bioshock
- Tony Jay --> the Elder God, the Soul Reaver games
- Mike Patton --> the Darkness

 

[Peaterson Is Back]

when you are playing as "shepard" in mass effect

 

[Christemo]

I´d say Arthas/The Lich King in world of warcraft. seriously, the voice is awesome and plain badass.

 

[Rossmallo]

Either Ratchet in RAC (He's friggin' hilarious) Wakka from FFX (His every line is solid gold because of his part as Bender in Futurama) or the combined cast of Psychonauts, especially Steve Blum as the G-Men. He derserves an award for them XD

 

[Skalman]

Mass Effect, except for male shepard (I always play female)

Gary Schwartz- Heavy Weapons Guy

I would have to say that I liked Bohan in Heavenly Sword. His voice actor (whose name escapes me at the moment) did a great job with that and mo-capping. Every time he spoke or was on screen, I felt like I was watching a high-end CG movie instead of a cutscene, and it was AWESOME.

I agree, it's Andy Serkis by the way, he also did the voice of Gollum in the LotR films.
