10 Best Lead Voice Acting Performances In Video Games

6. Michael Bell & Simon Templeman - Raziel & Kain (Legacy Of Kain)

A duel entry, because honestly, how can you rank Raziel above Kain, or Kain above Raziel? Thankfully the pair are in LoK: Defiance - as playable characters - if we need a specific game.

Brilliantly, both Bell and Templeman have played these characters various times before, with Templeman's Kain in particular being a Machiavellian wordsmith of venomous delivery and regal stature.

A phenomenal villain and one of gaming's finest, he's contrasted against the wounded Raziel, who Michael Bell plays with this constantly pained, "I know I can do this" bent to his voice, really getting across the Shakespearean nature of their revenge-stricken tale.

A huge part of why so many people remember the Legacy of Kain series so fondly are these voice performances, and if we were ever to get another instalment, both Templeman and Bell would have to return, no questions asked.
