Yakuza

The stars behind gaming's voices

You won't believe who you were just listening to

Game: Heavenly Sword
Stars: Andy Serkis
Known for: The Lord of the Rings trilogy, King Kong

Even slimier than Gollum? Andy Serkis' portrayal of King Bohan in Heavenly Sword is certainly a powerful performance - perhaps one of the best examples of real acting in videogames.
