Kevin Sorbo is Hercules? Brilliant!
"It ain't about whether you win or lose, unless you got money on the game, because...damn. That's your money, son."Some mooks in Rainbow Six Vegas are voiced by "the Chopin who became the pope". Jesus Christ On Toast, who approved of that bullshit?!
"what the complete, unabridged, 4k ultra HD fuck with bonus features" - Mark Von LewisRed Faction II, which featured Lance Henriksen and Jason Statham. I've noticed both voices in games since, but this may have been one of the first times I took notice of a games voice cast at all.
Also, I just got Killzone 2, which immediately begins with a speech from the Big Bad, and I was like, "Hey, it's Brian Cox, cool." Too bad the other voices in the game are pretty forgetable so far.
Speaking of Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep: Leonard Nimoy as Xehanort. I kept thinking it kind of sounded like him but I couldn't believe they actually got him to do it.
This. When I found out, I was like OMG Winnie The Pooh was the freakin villain.
In the new Dissidia Final Fantasy game coming out, I imagine that Lightning's EX Mode will be ZA BEASTO

My jaw dropped at that one.

Indiana Jones (his French voice, that is) as Captain Lamat, in the French version of the obscure Nintendo Hard PS 1 game O.D.T.
"Your kindness gives me the presentiment I can be reborn. Now, I want to believe at least in you." - Kaori YaeNow I'm not 100% about this, but did Liam O Brien provide his voice to Red Alert 3? The Akula Sub's navigator is either him or someone who can do a really good Liam O Brien impersonation...
Dogen was also Mike. That threw me for a loop, too.
"Proto-Indo-European makes the damnedest words related. It's great. It's the Kevin Bacon of etymology." ~MadrugadaThe Major was also Helba in the Dot Hack games. That I knew. But she also did most of Silent Hill's vocal tracks. MIND BLOWN
[1] This facsimile operated in part by synAC.In Dissidia, the instant Firion started talking and I realised hes really Ichigo, and Cloud of Darkness being Rise Kujikawa.
Can't think of anything witty, so have this instead...I was somewhat surprised that I was surprised that Yuri Lowenthal voiced Dean in Wild Arms 5, given one of his other roles.
Burn up, hurricane of justice!Caleb voiced the Jerkass Colonel at the end of Metroid Other M
Not to mention Big the Cat's new voice actor is Gohan and Kamina.

^^I was more suprised that Big the Cat is motherfucking Duke Nukem.

Raguna, the gentle farm boy, is the vengeful Large Ham Yami Emil (and regular Emil, but the Johnny Yong Bosch voice contrast isn't as strong).
