    Or at least put on a different voice!

    Just found out he's now in Dark Void as well. I mean he's likeable, plucky and quick with the comedy but there's a point where it becomes all too much.

    Was starting to feel this way about Ron Perlman recently too, but he at least tries to vary it up a bit.

    At least you won't have to hear him in Dark Void. With it being 'shit' and all. :-D

    Hi my name is Steve Blum and you may remember from such roles as everything in every game ever.

    It was distinctly 'meh' at the Expo.

    I felt the same about him in Prince of Persia. He is excellent in the Uncharted games but his prince really put me off.

    Also, the game was a bit rubbish.

    It's not really his fault though. He's hired because of his voice, if he changed it, they wouldn't want him. The problem is that every dev suddenly wants to replicate his character.

    Jennifer Hale sounds hot, though! Hope they keep casting her in games.

    I was surprised to see him in the credits when I finished Halo Wars yesterday. Though I must admit that I don't generally recognise voices. (Unless it's someone like Patrick Stewart)

    I knew he was in them once I'd finished them, but no, his voice isn't distinct enough for me to pick up on. I generally only notice people who I've seen in a considerable amount of films.

    Keith David is in EVERYTHING though. Wish he'd say "Is it the frank or the beans?" in one of his appearances.

    I'll never get my Orc looking the same again.

    I would like if he could mix up his woice work a little bit at least.

    He is awesome in Uncharted, no doubt. Suits Assassin's Creed too. But I'd just wish he could diversfy.

    He's been type-cast, so he'll be doing the "charismatic adventurer" thing for a while. It's a shame that Naughty Dog are the only people that seem to realise you still need a good script for it to work.

    He played Nate Drake in Shadow Complex too.

    Steve Blum and Crispin Freeman are in everything. Cam Clarke seems to have taken a back seat these days mind.

    +1 I love her voice. Maybe even her.

    Cam Clarke was awful.. but yeah, he doesn't seem to pop up so frequently these days and he at least tried to put on a different voice in some of his more recent appearences, it's much less noticeable.

    Nolan North has definitely started to urk me.

    Jennifer Hale is in a lot, but she has a great voice, you usually can't tell it's her.

    When he popped up as Julius in Saints Row I thought "Cool!", then as Captain/somerank Anderson in Mass Effect I thought "...cool...I guess", but as soon as Sgt Foley started talking in Modern Warfare 2 I had to shout "How'd you get the beans above the frank?!" - still his finest moment.

    Just noticed that Nolan North voices Desmond in Assassin's Creed as well.

    +1 for Jennifer Hale, she's great.

    Cam Clarke really irritates me. Mainly for his MGS, Eternal Sonata and WoW parts.

    I can tell it's her almost instantly, but then again I'm a bit weird.
