Videogame with the best Voice Actors.

[Rhade]

Eternal Darkness, at least with respect to some of the lead characters. When a game is somewhat heavy on narration and characters vocalizing what they feel (like, say, while going insane) it tends to help a lot when the voices can actually convey that. Edward Roivas, the narrator (and one of the playable characters), is probably the best example the game offers.

In some games though it's not always how high quality the voice acting is but that the voice fits the character and their style/attitude/etc. It also helps to have some sense of humor and self-parody if it doesn't horrible conflict with the game's atmosphere. The original Starcraft is probably a good example of both.

"Awaken my child, and embrace the glory that is your birthright. Know that I am the Overmind; the eternal will of the Swarm, and that you have been created to serve me."

The Zerg Overmind, a bit heavy on the distortion but exceptionally memorable.

(insert your favourite unit-repeatedly-clicked-on quotes)

Some serious, some action-related, some jokes, some references. Lots of fun.

 

[Zing]

Don't know the actors so I'll just list games with exceptional voice acting

Uncharted 2
Red Dead Redemption
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
Mass Effect 2
Mafia II

I mean I guess we can save time and just say Rockstar, BioWare, Bethesda and Naughty Dog know their voice acting.

 

[Sephychu]

Metal Gear Solid 4. They've all matured into some of the best voice actors ever.

 

[Queen Michael]

Jennifer Hale in MGS2 and David Hayter in all the Metal Gear games that have starred him.

 

[Flamezdudes]

Mass Effect 2 has some brilliant voice acting with well known voices like Martin Sheen. Red Dead Redemption had a really great cast aswell.

Fallout: New Vegas, like another person suggested looks like it has a brilliant cast so far!

 

[Lacsapix]

Oblivion.
Now before you try to rip my limps from my body and burn them, I mean some of the "Special" NPC's.
Like Uriel Septem voiced by Jean-Luke Picard, And Sheogorath, Lucien Lachance and of course Haskill.
Those had pretty good voice acting that made a perfect fit in there role.

The other Npc's where horrible especially Nords.

 

[GodsAndFishes]

Kain from the blood omen and soul reaper games was particularly good. Aside from several others mentioned.

I second this. Kain and Raziel.

Thirded. The Legacy of Kain games are brilliant for voices.

 

[ShadowsofHope]

Not such a big fan of the male Shephard voice talent (his name escapes me, so I'll use the placeholder Dull McFlat), but Jennifer Hale impressed me as lady Shephard in both games, lending some actual feeling to her lines and producing a much more noticeable difference between Paragon and Renegade dialogue than the male. Which is really a shining example of the extra difficulty in voice acting for games with branching narratives and dialogue.

Mark Meers is the voice of the male Shepard.

I agree though, Jennifer Hale's voice sounds much better, at both conveying emotion correctly and having the right kick behind it to make it count.

 

[Macgyvercas]

Fallout 3 had Liam Neeson as Dad.

Therefore, it wins by default.

 

[aussiebee]

Mass Effect(s), particularly Jennifer Hale, Seth Green, Brandon Keener (Garrus) and Michael Beattie (Mordin).

I also have to give credit to the TF2 cast, I find it hard to picture them as actual people, I only see their characters when I think of those voices =P

 

[Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon]

Fable 3 in advance of it's release.

John Cleese. I don't want to have to say more!

Also apparently Jonathon Ross.
OT: Fable 3.

 

[LandoCristo]

Half Life 2, but that's a given, Doctor Freeman.

 

[hazabaza1]

The Mass Effects, plus, Alpha Protocol seems pretty damn good in terms of cast as well.

 

[VulakAerr]

Mass Effect 2, GTA IV and RDR. Also I agree with the Prince in Sands of Time. He was pitch perfect.

 

[Valkyrie101]

Mass Effect is damn good, and so is Arkham Asylum. Assassin's Creed had a decent cast, apart from the protagonist with his American accent. GTA4 was excellent, especially Iggy.

 

[Mekado]

I'll throw in another Mass effect/ME2 for Jennifer Hale (NOT for Mark Meer...)

 

[aldowyn]

pretty much anything made by Bioware, highlighted by the genuinely famous Seth Green and Martin Sheen, Tricia Helfer (as EDI), and (somewhat) Yvonne Strahovski. Also in there is Jennifer Hale, who seems to have a longer voice acting IMDB than most actors have period (KotoR as Bastila comes to mind), and Raphael Sbarge as Kaidan in ME2, best known from KotoR as Carth Onasi.

That's just the ones I remember off the top of my head...
