9 Celebrity Voice Actors Who Ruined Their Video Games

1. Michael Biehn - Dwayne Hicks (Aliens: Colonial Marines)

It's rare that you get a game that doesn't have a single thing going for it, but from initial conception - Sega cancelled an Aliens RPG for it - to gameplay and even the cast involved, nobody bothered to even go out and buy a coat of polish, let alone apply it to Gearbox's disasterpiece.

For any who purchased it either out of faith in the franchise alone, or just a lack of knowledge about the general reception surrounding it, Terminator-star Michael Beihn's cutscenes as Dwayne Hicks ground everything to a halt whenever he was on screen - with even the opening cutscene being a pretty good idea as to how phoned-in the project was going to be.

Since the inevitable fan-backlash that comes when such a beloved property is utterly abused now follows the game around, Biehn actually ended up speaking out against it too, stating that in comparison to his work on other video games, Colonial Marines' production and recording felt "passionless."

Still, being that Biehn was the star of Terminator before Schwarzenegger totally eclipsed him - and the fact his character in this game was a reprise of his role from Aliens - he should have been able to grumble his way through a few militaristic lines of dialogue, but alas this was just another piece of kindling to the burning, sinking ship.
