Favorite game narrator

[xitel]

The Agency contact from Crackdown. Such an awesome voice...

This would be my vote. Morgan Freeman needs to narrate a game...

 

[Ranooth]

Guy from Dungeon Keeper and Liam Nelson from Fallout 3 if he counts (he should)

 

[MURPHYCHACHO]

I don't know if this counts, but Shodan from System Shock 2 always creeped me out, even to this day.

Honorable mention goes to Edward Roivas from Eternal Darkness.

 

[NeedAUserName]

The only one I actually know the name off. Stephen Fry.

 

[RAWKSTAR]

Brian Blessed!
When he the narration for Battle for Asgard! What fun!

 

[Avatar Roku]

Remember the beginning of Mass Effect, when you hear Anderson, Udina, and Hackett talking about Shepard? At first, I thought the entire game would be narrated by them, which would be cool, but sadly, it wasn't to be. Hackett might still count though, since you never meet him fact-to-face (which sucks, because he's cool, he was willing to overlook Shepard murdering someone from his past who hurt him, though he made a point of telling you he'd prefer you didn't).

 

[Stammer]

GLaDOS

If Ben Stein was ever the narrator for a game, whatever character he actually did would definitely become the best.

 

[Dudemeister]

Who is your favorite game narrator and why? My favorite is the one from Little Big Planet. He actually made the tutorial kind of interesting.

That's Stephen Fry.
And he is a legend.
Watch QI on BBC iPlayer, you'll see

 

[M3707ik]

Theresa from Fable 2 and Guildmaster from Fable 1

And the various voice actors from Endwar.

 

[HeyZeus_Ezekiel_Jesus]

Gaia (God of War) and GLaDOS (Portal) are tied as my favorites.

 

[SteveDave]

I really don't have one because games really don't need a narrator.

 

[Senor Smoke21]

The Agency guy from Crackdown.
"Are you scared?" Classic.
=]

 

[Devil's Due]

Atlas from BioShock, my god. That was wonderful.

 

[Kermi]

I don't know if this counts as 'narration' per se, but while playing Fallout 3 I never stopped listening to Galaxy News Radio because I wanted to hear what Three Dog had to say about my most recent exploits. For some reason I never got sick of him or the music.

 

[Death Magnetic]

If lazlow on GTA counts, then by far it's him.

-Ricky

 

[videot76]

Tony Jay in the Bard's Tale.

 

[GothmogII]

Yup, Dungeon Keeper. Wickedly good vo there.


Humm, the narrator from Homeworld is awesomely good too...actually...is this the same guy in these vids?:

[johnman]

Max Payne

Enough said.

 

[SecretTacoNinja]

The Agency contact from Crackdown. Such an awesome voice...

That bastard annoyed the crap out of me. :|
I managed to turn his voice off...
"Do this agent, do that agent agentagentagencyagentagency..."

I choose Abe from Oddworld if he counts.

This. Go Abe! :x

"What are we going to do?"
"The boiler?"
"What are we going to do?!"
"The boiler!"
"WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?!"
"Yeah!"
