Best Voice Acting
The quality of voice acting can make or break a game. Voice acting is becoming more abundant and increasingly important in games, and more recognizable actors and actresses are starting to lend their talents to bringing game characters to life. In recognition of this trend, we present the Best Voice Acting Award to the game that had the hands-down best voice work of any game this year. Here are the finalists:
