Top 5 Voice Actors in Gaming

Written by PaperJello
Every game has its iconic features that set it apart and make it instantly recognizable to fans and non-fans alike. It can be a logo, a theme song, or even a character’s hat. One thing that really brings games alive, and just so happens to be the subject of this article, is a character’s voice. Whether it be with a deep, heroic drawl or an upbeat, innocent lilt, a character’s voice can draw players in and really make them feel. That epic one-liner might send a chill down your spine, or that heartfelt speech might bring a tear to your eye. Maybe a character’s voice will bring you back to the good old days; nothing can fill you with nostalgia quite so well as Mario’s declaration of “its-a me!”

So in honour of these great actors that make our games that much better, here’s a list (in no particular order) of Gaming’s Top 5 Voice Actors.

Joaquin can confirm kills faster than you can kill them. That's because his CoD skills channel the powers of David Blaine and time travel. Now you see them, meow you don't.

Joaquin quickly time travels into the future: after no longer being needed in Vietnam, he's now serving in WWIII, throwing 9-bangers everywhere and generally fucking shit up. This is his first of many MW3 commentaries to come.

Joaquin's Black Ops Wii Commentary EP 16

Today Joaquin takes us back to the opening scenes of Full Metal Jacket with his M14. Well, not really, there's a lot more action here and no one goes mental (seemingly anyway).

Joaquin admits that he has an addiction to CoD. I'm not sure whether or not we should admit him into rehab...

Joaquin's 100th Video Black Ops Knife Trolling Extravaganza

5 Indie Games You Need to Play Right Now (If You Aren't Already)

The great thing about indie developers is that they're not tied to a publisher who tells them what they can and can't do. Indie devs don't need approval from a higher up, they just do what they want and either self-publish, or their game gets picked up by an interested publisher (which appears to be a rarity, but does on occasion happen). Indie games can be in a whole range of prices, some free, others $15+ and some in-between. The following are 5 that, in my opinion you should all go play right this instant.
