Caveat: don't say Solid Snake, anyone voiced by Charles Martinet, or characters with generic weird sounds like Yoshi or Kirby.

I don't know, Mark Hamill as Joker in the Arkham games?

I'm aware he had been the voice of Joker in animation/games/whatever since like the 90s

I mean, if you want famous voice performances from clearly the next tier down, there's Halley Joel Osment as Sora and Nolan North as Nathan Drake.

Sonic has had too many different VAs for it to be him.

Honestly, in recent years, it's actually Big Smoke's voice work that people have come to appreciate, if not for having gaming's most infamous drive thru order.

GTA 5 has sold so many copies that its probably technically Trevor or something silly like the voice sample from Candy Crush (I think theres a voice in it?)

Nathan Drake might be the answer among the people who know the names of voice actors crowd though.

The thing is, i think the answer is something casuals will get, thus Mario is the actual answer

But I think after that , yea, something from street fighter or mortal kombat. Those were huge and still are

I can't read apparently, was suggesting the voice of Pikachu.

I agree Nathan Drake and GLaDOS are the best bets so far.

Oh.

If we're talking strictly roles that originated in video games (because if we're not then he's easily trumped by many performances within his own game/series), Haley Joel Osment as Sora. It's a game/series that many people, even a lot of non-gamers, have played, and has a name attached that people recognize from non-gaming things.

I'm assuming that:
1) You want a fine example of voice acting across a game, and not an isolated sound effect that's memorable.
2) That the work itself is famous and not the person doing the voicework.

Therefore:

In what specifically? She's as prolific as it gets.

If it's ME, MaleShep had a play rate of 8:1 over her, which is baffling to me because she's incredible in those games
