    Sir Nolan's performance as Nathan Drake in the upcoming Uncharted, Desmond Miles in the upcoming Assassin's Creed, and as every character male or female in my ideal version of Skyrim may have some tough competition from his performance as the spheres and the turrets in Portal 2.  There are literally 8 characters in Portal 2 and Sir Nolan is four of them.  And usually, the funniest.  I think he's going to have to pull out all the stops in order for Nathan Drake to win his second Northie.

    Wow.  Had no idea he was in Portal 2.


    I think his best performance this year has been MvC3 though as Deadpool.  I still crack up every time someone uses his pistols, " BANG!!  BANG!!  BANG!!  BANG!!  BANG!!  BANG!! "

    Let's make sure we don't leave MK out of the list of candidates. Sure, he doesn't do a ton of voice acting for Stryker, but what's there is pretty good.


    I've gotta say, this is a pretty big year for Nolan North. Maybe even bigger than 2009.

    All of them.  Every single one.  I say, get two thousand trophies lined up, slap his name on 'em, and just start delivering them by the truckload to his no-doubt fabulous mansion built atop an entire island in Hawaii.  Load 'em up, boys.  Because he deserves them all.

    @Brodehouse: Really? Damn, I guess Nolan North is so prolific that other people must be trying to imitate his voice. Stryker sounds pretty much exactly like Nathan Drake to me.

    @EuanDewar: Johnny Cage is credited to Jeff Pilson, the bassist from Dokken.  I know, and yet there it is.

    On the awesome side, Kitana is played by Nanako Dojima.

    I'm withholding judgement until I play Assassin's Creed- Christ I can't wait for more AC- I know everyone wants them to "take a year off", but they've been making consistently great games, I'm legitimately looking forward to it.

    I think Mr. North is a shoe in this year for a Northy. Also Space.

    I think it is blasphemy that you suggest anyone but Stephen Merchant put in the best voice performance in that game.

    Whilst that is ridiculously awesome, you can't forget the defective turrets:
      
      They don't sound as good all mashed together, but as one liners some of these really made Portal 2 for me.

    I don't know how he does this but every time I hear him talk as a character I think "damn that's a good voice" and some time later someone tells me it's Nolan North (Stryker in this case).

    This has to win, for once that he's not doing Nathan Drake and he's being funny
