Joe Kucan who plays Kane. another game I couldnt care less about if not for the story. that man is a god. I remeber when I was young stealing the game from my little brother after seeing his videos, especially the bit where he shoots the guy in the beret, pushes him off the command chair and calmly starts talking smoking gun in hand. :)
Joe Kucan is the man, but he isn't a voice actor. For voice acting, I would have to go with David Hayter. However, to demonstrate the awesomeness that is Joe Kucan & Kane, I present Exhibit A [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKy4BdOVsZI]

Heh there is a similar post on Moddb.com about video game protagonists.

I'd say the best voice actor would have to be the guy who did Duke Nukem :D

The worst would have to be the guy who did the voice for Mass Effect Sheppard guy.

Hard choice really since i don't care what most people sound like. I'd nitpick Dynasty Warriors 6 but i love that game series too much :) Plus if you hear that annoying voice then it drives me to them to get rid of it xD!

Interesting!

Dantes voice in Devil May Cry 4 doesn't suit him at all. It should be deeper.
Also, every voice in Oblivion is bloody annoying. They were probably okay at first, but they're used over and over so much that I can't even remember a time when they didn't fill me with an urge to murder.

I usualy only notice good or bad voice acting in animes. I find some voices annoying in games, yes, but I never really notice the voice acting.

Worst: 'What is a man?'

Best: GLaDOS or Gman, both give live into it so goddamn well.

i loved gordon freeman in halflife 1 and 2 :D
It's inevitable quips like this that are starting to make his name Cliché instead of a crowning moment of awesome.

The Spy on TF2 has a neato voice. And G-man.

I'd say marcus phoenix from GoW and g-man have the best voices and the worst would be Eli Vance from hl2 and Master chief in halo2

p.s. I have hl2 and halo 2 in spanish so the english version might be better, btw halo 2 was translated into south american spanish which I dislike due to the fact that I'm spanish

I loved Patrick Stewert in Oblivion.

Worst is probably Agnus in Devil May Cry 4.
Definitely Patrick Stewart.... He seems to fit that genre so well, which is odd- Well, I guess he must have learned how to say *anything* convincingly after his time on Next Generation

Ever played Musashi: Samurai Legend? EVERY VOICE in that game was terrible... just awful... haha
I played that game, the voice work is aweful. Musashi sounds like a total dork.

Anyways, my favorite voices are games like The Darkness, Bioshock, and Portal.

Worst, I have to say it though i love the game too death, is master chief from halo. Im mean, its well written dialogue, but his voice is more smarmy and too-cool than dante's from DMC!

Runner up
The guides from civ-rev. STOP BABBLING IN A GIBBERISH LANGUAGE!

Best is the little sisters a la bioshock. Eerie, haunting and at the same time sweet and semi innocent, just like them.
runner up
Baird of gear of war. Whiny, cinical and generally a weenie. Absolutely hilarious and satisfying

Someone help me out as to how to make that come out right, and I'll edit it fixed.

Also, Guybrush in the latter half of the Monkey Island games. Dominic Armato, I believe. What a hero.

Worst? Probably Conker's Bad Fur Day? But that was the dialogue too. Man, that game just bugged the hell outta me!

Hmmm... there's a lot to choose from for best. Honestly, David Hayter deserves a vote.

Worst? Practically every Sonic character, especially after the 4Kids cast took over *shudder*
Of course David Hayter I wouldn't Imagine anyone else doing Snake's voice
& Lolz to the Sonic series it's like they're intentionally bad

my person favourites come from the Legacy of Kain series. The voices of Kain and Raziel are always full of emotion.
You sir, win the thread! :) Raziel had the coolest voice ever!

Awful awful game, but Steve Blum lends his voice to Vincent Valentine very well. I've always been a fan of that voice actor. Beyond that, Auron for Final Fantasy X. His voice was great. Can you tell I'm an RPG nerd yet?

Worst? Altair from freaking Assassin's Creed. I don't care. The fact that he had practically no accent and a monotone 'tough-guy' voice sucked when you had convincing accents on every other damn character. Bad decision from whoever cast him.

I can't think of a worst at the moment, but I'm gonna say the best was most of the cast for Merc's 2.
