Banjo Kazooie/Tooie had some of the best voice acting I've ever heard [grin]. Gibberish noises, cleverly chosen. The toilet speaks in farts!

The voice acting is terrible because you're not playing StarCraft.

Even though you only had a birds eye view of Sarah, you knew she was hot...

I have extremely detailed and unique ideas for major projects, anyone interested in advanced programming, server setup (I have about five gigs of webspace at my disposal) and multimedia design should E-mail me at Fatimus@Gmail.com

The Brothers in Arms series is a great example of how to do voice acting right. Not only do they have a sweet director/directing staff, the voice actors themselves are top-notch, if not household names.
