I agree with most of you choices but i have my own favorites too: michael ironside A.K.A SAM FISHER was great, (I loved him in "STARSHIP TROOPERS") I would have to agree with the guy that mentioned the GTA series, RAY LIOTA (Tommy Vercetti), MICHAEL RAPAPORT (Joey Leone), SAMUEL L JACKSON (Officer Frank Tenpenny)... Come to think about it, I think the best voice over in a game with the best list of actors would have to be - "GTA - VICE CITY" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0314123/ hands down! I loved the article!

That was my favorite voice actor of all time them, probably Paul Mercier in RE 4. Perosonally i liked Ray Liotta in Grand theft auto Vice city.

Wed, 24 Jun 2009 08:35:16 +0000 http://www.nextgn.com/?p=13327#comment-4986 To be honest the lack of TC Carson is really quite irritating, if you watched the "Fear Nothing" Trailer of God of War III listen when he says "I fear nothing" and "I hope for nothing", he showed in that trailer that Kratos isn't all rage, the trailer showed the emptiness in his character. Why you added someone with hardly any lines (Steve Downes) over TC Carson and a bunch of other great voice actors escapes me. Seriously though I think you should have also added Phil Lamarr the man shows his versatility when it comes to videogames he voiced Vamp in MGS4, the brutal voodoo using machete wielding Mr Sunshine from Saints Row 2, and just to show his versatility I'll use these examples he can voice an authoritative adult (Green Lantern, John from inFAMOUS) to young teenagers (Static Shock) I know a few more VA's but Phil and TC were the first ones that came to my head To be honest the lack of TC Carson is really quite irritating, if you watched the “Fear Nothing” Trailer of God of War III listen when he says “I fear nothing” and “I hope for nothing”, he showed in that trailer that Kratos isn’t all rage, the trailer showed the emptiness in his character.

That's a HUGE omission from this list. In fact, the entire cast of the LoK: Soul Reaver series could fill this list. No Simon Templemann, no care. That’s a HUGE omission from this list.

I watched my older brother play mgs 1 when I was around 8 or 9 i forgot. I never played a mgs game until 4 came out and i burrowed it lol. And holy shit this man is truly the best video game voice actor ever. Well thats probably because the game was as perfect as ocarina of time. Good choice on Visari's voice actor. Man when i played that game and he was giving me that speech I was hung on every word. Perfect speech. When i read your comment saying it was "so" inspiring, I heard the speech go through my head. The guy who voice act's Nathan Drake sorta looks like him lol. I would put the guy who does the tutorials in little big planet over master chief anyday.

Those voice actors are pretty fail to me. Jennifer Hale should be up there. And like the first person said, TC Carson... how can you leave his voice acting out?
