Richard Ridings for the Dungeon Keeper narration - although has since been ruined for me by finding out that he has more recently voiced Daddy Pig in the Peppa Pig cartoons, and now that's all I can hear when I revisit DK...

Startopia also had brilliant VO. I can't remember the name of the actor, but I think he sadly died shortly afterwards.

amok: Electronic Speech Systems, Impossible Mission.
From "Another visitor. Stay awhile... staaaaay FOREVER!" to "Mission Accomplished. Congratulations!". Good range.
(""Destroy him, my robots!")
You forgot the iconic "NOOOoooo...." ;) From "Another visitor. Stay awhile... staaaaay FOREVER!" to "Mission Accomplished. Congratulations!". Good range.
(""Destroy him, my robots!")
Individual voice actors rarely stick out for me. But I do notice when the voice acting in a game is exceptionally good (Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines), disappointingly mediocre (Oblivion) or really bad (at least 50% of German dubs).

My top favorite has to be Jim Cumming, simply by virtue of "Minsc"... Best NPC EVARRRR!!
EDIT.. Jennifer Hale always struck me as quite generic.. I'd never say anything she's done has particularly stuck out from the pack.

Ridings has been in a lot of games lately. It's not confirmed by I suspect that he voiced the Commandant in Fable 2 and the Crawler in Fallout 3 (two awesome voices). Here's a man who only made a single video game voice, but ho boy he made it count: British actor Joss Ackland. He voiced Pieter Van Eckhardt in Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness (not a very good game, but the voice acting was awesome). I wish he was in more games. Just listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFUDFwd--y8.

Martin Sheen in the Mass Effect games. the ME2 trailer featuring the Illusive Man would have been enough to sell me, if i wasn't already going to pick up the game anyway.
also: Keith David, Liam Neeson, Mark Hamill, David Hayter, Ron Perlman and whoever is voicing Captain Price in the Modern Warfare trilogy.

Of course Minsc (as others said -- I saw a cartoon once where he was voicing a character. It was awesome.)
The guy from Batman Beyond did the voice for the main character in Advent Rising. He does exceptional work IMO.
And Mark Hamill as others said. He's got a very natural talent. If you've never read how he got into it, he asked to read for the part of the Joker for Batman TAS. Since he was somehow a friend or something, the director let him read first just to get it over with. But he was shocked and amazed at how good he was.
Later, they realized that he also had a rare gift. Usually, voice actors voice their part and then animation is set to the audio. But occasionally, you'll see a scene where it's all messed up. Those are the parts that were later edited and the animation is made and then an audio track has to be added to the video. This is extremely hard to do for voice actors, but Mark Hamill had a rare ability to do it spot on regularly. Hence, you never see a bad joker scene. (my source was a big Batman comicy encyclopediacy biographicy thing I read)

Liam O'brien does such a fantastic job voicing nerdy/fabulous/psychotic/some combination of the above.

granny: Hmm...
Best as in 'so bad it's hilarious' would have to be everyone in 'The House of the Dead 2'.
Best as in 'best I've ever encountered' would have to be everyone in 'Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines'.
The voice acting in V:TMB was top notch. Best as in 'so bad it's hilarious' would have to be everyone in 'The House of the Dead 2'.
