Bad Videogame Acting Chronicled

An anonymous reader writes "This site is documenting some great bad acting in video games. Sure, we all talk about what game had bad acting (Resident Evil comes up all the time), but this place has examples of why people call these games bad." This immediately brought to mind one of the bosses from the game Final Fight, when he says "Oh, my car" right after you've smashed his car, and he couldn't sound much more disinterested, nevermind that his ride was beaten in with a lead pipe.

    see, but with Deus Ex I always figured that was supposed to be on purpose, sorta showing his ability to remain calm based on his inhuman parts, etc etc. plus, if you deliver your lines sorta average, they come across ok if you're playing as 'good guy' or 'bad guy' without having to record a second line for every situation.

    No. You're definitely not the only one.

    And speaking of hitting the spacebar, there's nothing more hilarious to a 14 year old (how old I was when I was playing Duke3D) than pressing the spacebar to hear the toilet flush. That also added another half-hour of pressing the spacebar.
