No matter what some people say, I really think these games benefit from good voice acting. I remember those early games (cough - sierra) where they tried to use the developer team (or whoever was hanging around??) to do the voices, and yeah, that stank.

I *love* proper voice work - the venerable Lucas Arts talkies like The Dig, Grim Fandango and especially Full Throttle were among the best I've ever heard and I still compare todays games with them.
I don't know how many people here know UltraNeko but her show on Youtube is getting more and more popular. She's also known to be a huge fan of Metal Gear Solid and David Hayter who dubs Solid Snake.
She did several videos of him and the MGS cast (and also John St. John of Duke Nukem) - this is probably the funniest:
