Favorite game narrator

[ZenMonkey47]

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.

Gaia from God of War/2, and of course,
"War. War never changes."

Mmmm... Perly.

If Atlas from Bioshock counts, then it's no contest.

The narration and all voice acting in Sacrifice was superb.

Gaia is Oscar Winner Linda Hunt. Show some respect. And she's my fave.

 

[Astrozombie3]

Bruce Campbell from the Spider-man games.

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.

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.

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.

As to my favourite, it's a toss-up between Ron Perlman (Fallout series) and Jeff Steitzer (Halo series, for multiplayer) for me.

GLaDOS

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.

 

[Souplex]

Me after too much of my vodka N' coffee mix. It disposes of all my inhibition while rendering me alert and functional. The result is a me who narrates every single detail imaginable whilst gaming.

 

[Gormers1]

Hmm, maybe the tutorial guy in spider-man 1 (titled "the movie") and 2.
And the prince as in PoP:TSoT

 

[lukey94]

abe and munch, munchs voice is just abes with a cute little lisp in a way and also the narration in strangers wrath was awesome, i hated GLaDos though, the break in her voice pissed me off

 

[flare09]

Patrick Stewart from Demon Stone. He is the only person cool enough to be captain of the Enterprise and be a narrator for a good game.

 

[Spartan Bannana]

Ron Perlman! Definitely Ron Perlman

 

[AuntyEthel]

No mentions yet for the narrator of Leisure Suite Larry 7? Shame on you all!

I liked Ian McKellen's narration as Gandalf in the Return of the King game.

I liked his narration in the Lord of the Rings games too. He has the perfect voice for Gandalf. Now that I've seen those movies and games, I can't imagine Gandalf sounding different. I also love the voice that Christopher Lee did for Sauroman. His voice is so low, deep and rich. The world of entertainment will be lesser for it when these two guys are no longer around.

I do love Steven Fry in LBP and come to think of it Gaia in GoW was great aswell.

 

[Jamash]

How about Tom Baker in Fire Warrior [http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=SiM8drnIR0Y]?

I could listen to him say 'Segmentum Solar' all day long!
