As there's a thread about worst voice acting, then what about the good ones? What game/characters got the voice spot on?

And before anyone says it, Nolan North rules in pretty much anything. I still think Nathan Drake in Uncharted is his best.

As for females, nothing can beat Claudia Black and her voice. She voiced Morrigan in Dragon Age perfectly.

Was she not Vala in seasons 9 and 10 of stargate SG1?
Danni Bher as the ship's computer voice in Privateer 2 - mmmm Danni Bher!

Yup. And more importantly, Aeryn Sun in Farscape!
Definitely the Uncharted series and to be a little biased the original Command & Conquer.
Nathan Fillion in Halo 3 because Nathan Fillion.
Probably Vampire: Bloodlines. Professional actors, with a director who actually took his job seriously and provided _directions_ instead of just letting people read lines from paper. Very distinct voices too.
Batman Arkham Asylum no doubt about it hands down right on money

Good choice, i forgot about that one. That game has some great voice acting... shame the way the game turned out.
Most of my experiences with great voice acting have been in adventure games:

Tony Plana as Manny in Grim Fandango
Dominic Armato as Guybrush Threepwood in Monkey Island
Earl Boen as LeChuck in Monkey Island
Melissa Hutchison as Clementine in The Walking Dead
Dave Fennoy as Lee Everett in The Walking Dead
Roy Conrad (R.I.P.) as Ben in Full Throttle
Robert Patrick as Boston Low in The Dig

Outside of adventures, I have to say the Arkham games (so technically, Batman: The Animated Series).

Never got into Farscape. but I did recently finish watching Stargate, just got Continuum and ark of Truth and thats the full SG12 saga.
If there's one memorable voice for me in this department, it was Sindri's, from Dawn of War. It kind of reminded me of Snape's way of talking in the movies.
Planescape. I could probably think of a bunch of games that have great voice acting, but when I think back to Nordom, Fall-From-Grace, Morte, and Annah's voice acting... yeah. No contest. Despite its general greatness, the game would probably be a shell of its current self without their contributions.

The best "so bad it circles around and becomes good again" voice acting I've ever found, on the other hand, has to be either Grandia or Megaman Legends. Probably the first one. So endearingly bad.
Pretty much anything by Patrick Stewart.
Oblivion's emperor. The older voiceover for areas in Star Trek Online. Anything, I just love his voice.

Wow. Can't believe I never knew this, I now have an actual reason to play Halo 3.

If only Bethesda had actually used him, of all people, instead of killing him off in the first 10 minutes or so.
