I hear people like Nolan North who plays Nathan Drake in Uncharted. Interesting as there is a very famous 80s cartoon voice actress called Noelle North. This cannot be a coincidence.

I think Nolan may be the son of Noelle, voice actress of Princess Kala and Cubbi Gummi in Gummi Bears and Rowanne in the Legend of Prince Valiant.

 The only true answer. His babbling he does for Mario and Luigi voice in Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga is the funniest voice acting ever. And Wario is just plain awesome.

Nolan North is the new standout, he is in every single game now. Problem is too many games want him to sound like Drake. He is AWESOME in Ratchet ACIT as a robot who sounds nothing like Drake. He can do it all. Plus he is Raphael in TMNT.

Of course there is David Hayter for his Solid Snake which is legendary.

One of the all time greats is Cam Clarke, he voiced the original Leonardo on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and I have been picking out his distinct voice ever since. Of course he was awesome as Liquid Snake.

The entire cast of Legacy of Kain deserves to be on this list cause they are all amazing.

He's my pick too. I think he helped Nintendo shape Mario and Luigi's personality to what they are today.

His Luigi's "Oh yeah!" one-liner cracks me up everytime!

You didn't notice that Master Miller had the exact Leonardo voice. I knew Master Miller was Liquid cause I could tell it was the same voice actor.

Gotta go with Robin Downes, though Yoda made a good point.  North and Hayter have voices that take over the script, you just keep thinking "Hey's that's David Hayter"  Same thing or celeb voices like Patrick Stewart.

i love Scottish accents in hack n slash RPGs.  I love a lot of the NPCs in Demon's Souls.  My favourite voice and accent in a game has got to be Deckard Cane from Diablo (the original, he's not as well done in Diablo II).

the "worst" voice acting had to be Liam Neeson's northern irish accent as my father in fallout3 after I chose to be a black character.  where's the suspension of disbelief? Sad
