Okay, we've all played a game where it seems all the script-writers were 3 year old chimps and only $3 and a couple of sticks of gum were put aside to pay for voice-actors. So what are the worst you've come across?

Worst offender I've come across would definitely have to be Need For Speed: Most Wanted. The first video when you start a new game has got to be the worst thing ever crapped into existence.
It is so SO bad that it borders on good.

Watch it and tell me you didn't once laugh (or doubt all faith you ever had in humanity).

Dark Messiah: Might and Magic.

That dialogue was horrible. Luckily the combat (Which I still hold is the best so far) made up for it.

Dynasty warriors 2 and 3 the cut scenes there just so bad as if they were written by 2 different people and well voiced by 2 different companies.

Worst Scripting or Acting?

Well Acting goes to Alone in The Dark's Love interest. She must have a spanner between her brain.

But worst script? I don't know... Kingdom hearts II's Script needed doing over in places.

Actual Kingdom Hearts II Script said:
Fuu: Thieves!

Rai: That was Low, y'know?

Hayner: Oh Yeah?

Seifer: Nice comeback there, Blondie.

Hayner: What'd you say?

Seifer: You can give us Back the ------ Now. [Not an Error, Left blank in game]

Rai: Yeah, Your the only ones Who'd take it, Y'know?

Seifer: That was undeniable proof that we totally owned you Lamers. [PAUSE] So What'd you do? Burn it? Ha, not that we need some ------- to prove that you're losers.

Fuu: Replay!

Seifer: [Laughs]Now You're Talking!
That is bad but I wouldn't say the worst. I can't think at the minute so I'll just give this award to Alone in the Dark's Female Character again.

Calumon: She sounded sooooooooo annoying. :S

Two Worlds.

Verily, forsooth, mayhap!
Yeah, gotta be honest, just listening to the voices in the Two Worlds unskippable episode was almost comedic enough.

Admittedly I heard that they ran out of budget and ended up having to do the voices themselves so it's a little justifiable.... a little.

If you're looking for funny bad then Sean Devlin from the Saboteur is pretty good. His accent flits wildly around various Irish accents, Scottish, American and pirate.

On the other hand, some voice acting that's just bad and puts you off an otherwise great game comes from the actor voicing Kratos in God of War 3.

Everything in this. The Japanese games especially. I think that's most of them.

Also, Commandos 3 takes the biscuit for "Worst Irish accent ever".
I swear the voice at number 32 of that list sounds exactly like Tristan from Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series.

In terms of fame, you have to include the dialogue and acting in the original Resident Evil. It crossed into "So bad, its good" territory though. I personally hated the voice acting in Star Ocean: Till the End of Time. Especially that one really squeaky character whose name I can't remember.
