Best: Steven Jay Blum. This man has range.

Runner Up: Ed Asner. Not technically a video game character, but are you really gonna argue with this? [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eovmFkyH7x4]

Worst: Ryan Drummond. He's the voice of Sonic the Hedgehog, and that's enough to make me hate him.

David Hayter is the best.
Screw David Hayter, especially as Snake. The man can't emote to save his life.

He should stick to writing screenplays. (X-men, X2:United, and one version of Watchmen.)

Best: Stephen Russell. Look at his IMDb page. [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1592197/] Anyone who can voice Garrett AND Benny the guard, as well as Xerxes, the Many's human soldiers, and the Many itself... now that's versatility.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that he voices Karras too. KARRAS. The guy who sounds like Droopy Dog after six months of pseudoreligions brainwashing. Is there anything the man can't do?

Worst: Whoever voiced the female Elves in Oblivion. Seriously, I think she did about six days' worth of voice work and only managed to do anything good on one of those days. Listen to some of the dialogue just veer back and forth on the quality scale.

The worst?
Oh boy... where do I start?

* WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOOOOOOR?!
The dude that made the voice acting for Megaman X4.
Trust me. It's so bad [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LISmPmdUhYA] it's byond hilarious

* DIZ IS DA FIHNUL BATHOL!
Also, the people who made the voices for House of the Dead 2 = pure genious comedy.

* I heard that the English voice acting on the American Shenmue 2 for the Xbox was absolutely terrible.

* Philips CD-i games in general? *caugh!*Zelda*caugh!*Mario**caugh!*

* Resident Evil, specially the classic ones like the 1st and 2nd game on the PSX. Absolutely God-awful. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQdZQ5KjgbU]

Who is the worst, and who is the best? And is it important to you for a game to have good voice acting?

For worst i'd say Mark Meer, and for best i'd say Jennifer Hale, the woman's a genius.
Yeah, Jennifer Hale's great. She's in so many games, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuaD6cC5RpA] and she does them well.

Whoever does the voice for Carth in KotOR and Kaiden in Mass Effect (even though I hate that character) is good as well.

Best has to be Mike Patton but my opinion is probably swayed cause I've heard his music and I've seen what he can do with his voice. Other than that all the voice actors from the Legacy of Kain series were pretty good.

Best voice acting in my opinion has got to have been Liam Neeson and Malcolm McDowell in Fallout 3, they both had their good and evil feeling to their voices.

Worst voice acting.... well thats got to be any characters from the original Resident Evil, cringeworthy gaming at its best!
You are the master of unlocking.

Best: Liam Neeson. His voice is relaxing.
Worst:Most of the actors form Aquanox.
