A classic that's on more lists than the local flasher. What sets House of the Dead 2 apart from the rest of the entries is that as an arcade game you don't really expect it to have a stellar voice cast. You're just there to pump in the coins and be entertained (akin to those vibrating motel beds). Even by the standards of everyone else in the game, Goldman is a stoic robot of a man. His delivery is up there with Bob Newhart, but instead of sounding like it's being purposely done for dramatic effect, it comes across as though Goldman is suffering from advanced radiation poisoning. So lifeless and robotic-like is his acting that by comparison his colleagues (who, frankly, are also rather bad) actually sound emotive and engaging. It's extremely suspicious that Goldman is able to draw his scenes out for the exact time it takes to beleaguer an unfortunate parent into giving you enough change for the obviously upcoming boss battle. He's as unscrupulous as a phone sex line.
