Favorite game narrator

[rottenbutter]

Bruce Campbell, for the Spider-man movie based games. I mean, come on. It's Bruce Campbell. How much better can you get?

The answer is, you can't get any better, because Bruce Campbell is just too awesome.

 

[D_987]

Whoever did the narration for Fable.

 

[ygetoff]

ron perlman.
best narrator ever.
but morgan freeman does a good job on movies.
he was the best part of march of the penguins.
captain price also did a good job in the briefings for CoD4.

 

[Programmed_For_Damage]

Zoë Wanamaker in Fable 2. Absolutely perfect for the role.

Agreed. She was fantastic.

 

[Drakstern]

HOW HAS THIS NOT BEEN MENTIONED YET?

Kain and Rahziel's self narration from Legacy of Kain.

 

[Woe Is You]

I quite liked the narrator from the Penny Arcade games.

"Cry havoc and...do something to some kind of dog."

 

[Asymptote Angel]

THE OVERMIND, obviously.

 

[Mean Mother Rucker]

Tony Jay in the Bard's Tale.

It's true because he would antagonize you the entire game which actually made me play in spite of him.
I especially loved the parts where the Bard talked back and everyone nearby thought he was either high or crazy (Like that drunk Trow, Piskey, next to the second bridge in Neversdale).

 

[Fightgarr]

THE OVERMIND, obviously.

Yes, as well as the Protoss Executor.

 

[PatientGrasshopper]

Narratives by Ellen McClain she does GLaDos and Announcers from TF2 and HL 2

 

[Whobajube]

Just gonna toss it out there... but the Battle Announcer from the original Pokemon Stadium was pretty friggin epic.

 

[acer840]

The man following The Wonderer in Diablo 2. He made excellent narations in the movies between acts

 

[InvisibleMilk]

Ron Perlman.Hands Down.
That, or Darth Vader, if uh, he was a narrator.

 

[Eldritch Warlord]

Sargent Avery Johnson for his lovely narration in Halo 3's calibration guide.

How about the Grunt in the surround sound set-up?

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).

 

[songnar]

Hands down, Richard Ridings (Dungeon Keeper.)
David Hayter is a close second, though.

 

[Shellsh0cker]

I quite liked the narrator from the Penny Arcade games.

"Cry havoc and...do something to some kind of dog."

Definitely my favorite. Shout-outs to Gaia, GLaDOS, and both UT2004 announcers

 

[Jamash]

Ron Perlman, the Fallout series. He can make almost any line sound incredibly awesome with that voice of his.

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

The Agency Director was played by Michael McConnohie, agent. He had a great voice, agent. I just wish he would stop ending every sentence with "agent", agent.

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.

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.

 

[Erazor521]

My favorite game narrator would have to be tied between The Duke from Sonic '06 and Bruce Cambell from the Spider-Man Movie games.

 

[SnowCold]

GLaDOS

 

[Flying-Emu]

THE OVERMIND, obviously.

I'll require more vespene gas before I can agree with this.

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.
