Seven Magnificent Games that could have been improved with new voice casting:
Melanie Sykes as Lara Croft
Shoots the bad guy and says "Would you like a flake with that, luv?"
Tony Robinson as Solid Snake
Sneaks onto the tanker, looks around the corner and sees some hi-explosive and says "I have a cunning plan"
Rowan Atkinson as Max Payne
Those cartoon cut-scenes would have been much improved if he'd only said the word "Pobble" a few times
Warner Bros. do Wipeout Fusion
Fire a guided missile at Paul Cheung's EG-R ship, watch it defragment against the track wall, and have your onboard computer ask "What's up, Doc?" as you shoot on past
The late Eric Morcambe as Maximo
They could have used the odd "Ayyy Ayyy Ayyy!" soundbite or
"Short, fat, hairy legs" joke here and there. Sadly missed.
Brian Blessed as Kain
Soul Reaver 2 would sound much more evil if the baddest of the bad was voice-acted by this master of deep, evil voices.
Barry White as Ecco the Dolphin
What Ecco lacks in 'coolness' could have been remedied overnight by having Barry White do his voice acting. Or appearing as a whale on a later level.

"I am Tony Robinson, and the world is on my shoulders!"
"Look, a muddy site with a 50/50 chance of a Roman coin!"
"Get me a hippy, a farmer and a middle-aged woman! WE DIG!"
He'd be distracted too easily.

I like the thought of Tony Robinson sneaking around, saving the world. I bet he does in reality.

I wonder if Bob Hoskins would reprise his role of Mario.
No, hang on, he sounded awful!
