How about the Grunt in the surround sound set-up?shatnershaman said:
I don't know really, very few games have narration and I haven't really played many that do. Maybe Multiplayer Announcer in Halo (I only don't say the one in Unreal because he's often hard to understand).
It's somewhat hard to believe he also does the voice for Asteroth in Soul Calibur 4, among other things. Such a great vocal range.mspencer82 said:
I also really liked Leonard Nimoy in Civilization IV.
Some of his quotes from unlocking new technologies were pretty funny too, like when you got the 'Rock & Roll Museum', he said something like "I like to Rock 'n' Roll, yeah baby, rock you all night long", with no hint of Human emotion. Spock doing Chuck Berry, classic.
I'll require more vespene gas before I can agree with this.Asymptote Angel said:
But seriously, Leonard Nimoy's work in Civilization IV. I play the game all the time, and I never get sick of hearing him say "Put your shoulder to the wheel" when I research The Wheel.
Gonna have to pull a "me too" and go with Stephen Fry for his work on Little Big Planet
I also like the Narrator from the original Icewind Dale not so much for the actor, but rather the fact that the kindly narrator of your story is actually... well see for yourself if you don't mind being spoiled http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcfm06qzRcQ&feature=related (the ending starts about 4:30)

No real order:
GLaDOS
Bruce Campbell in anything (Spiderman, Evil Dead games, Pitfall, etc.)
Ron Perlman in the Fallout games
DBZ narrator
and Stan Lee in the N64/PSX Spiderman game
Also, if he counts, Keith David as the Elite in the Halos 2 and 3. Just because his voice is awesome.

Stephen Fry (of LBP as mentioned earlier) always wins! He is, hands down, the greatest voice ever! Anyone heard him reading Harry Potter? (Not that Harry Potter is especially good, but Stephen Fry is worth listening to 7 books for.
Strange; I thought the Agent liason voice was done by Pete Stacker [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1005647/], notable as the narrator for the Bud Light "Real Men of Genius" ads and as the gruff sergeant in the Halo series. Yet IMDB says otherwise... I'll have to look at the Crackdown end-credits again when I get home.Jamash said:
As to my favourite, it's a toss-up between Ron Perlman (Fallout series) and Jeff Steitzer (Halo series, for multiplayer) for me.

Other then that, I have hated every talking voice telling me where to go and what to do, because I actually am obligated to listen to them, and I just hate that.
