I cast my vote for Best Dialogue for Psychonauts. I don't know any other game with such creative dialogue. As for the worst...Resident Evil needs a mention, but I think Final Fantasy VII had terrible dialogue. Not just the game, which could be excused because of poor translation, but FFVII:AC had some of the most expressionless voice acting I've ever heard.
Gears of War! Oh my lord, Gears of War!
Every time someone mentions Heather Chaplin's "gamers are adolescents" rant I'm forced to grit my teeth and admit she has a point because nobody seemed to notice that every line in Gears of War is excruciating!
And breeeeaaaaaaaathe out...

There's two sides to game dialogue, I've noticed: bad voice actors and bad scripts. I think it's the first one that bugs me more, it takes something extraordinarily cheesy for me to notice the other. Case in point: Baten Kaitos, which mercifully had the option of turning the voices off (except combat voices, which weren't nearly as bad). They fixed that and more in the prequel, though.
