For The Old Republic, there's some pre-production gameplay footage here:

Note: It's not KOTOR.  Knights of the Old Republic is the original X-Box single-player game. =P  So ignore the footage that shows right at the beginning.

people are already calling the 'new' metroid other M = M.O.M  *sigh* :P

hahahahaha

Castlevania revamped by Kojima? whoa. and voiced by PATRICK STEWART? double win. :D

Sweet!!! (I didn't hear about the Patrick Stewart part.)

'new' super mario bros on wii? = i totally loved the DS version, tho despite rave reviews i personally didnt care for Mario Galaxy [and now mario Galaxy 2.... ]

Dude, Mario Galaxy was awesome. But then again, you're talking to the guy who absolutely loved Mario 64. If you like Mario 64, you should enjoy Galaxy just as much if not more.

I think Patrick Stewart isn't that great.  He has a wonderful voice, but from what I've heard he also asks to be paid a lot, for very little work (like his grand 5 minutes of time in Oblivion).

Hey, you take that back. The man is awesome and he charges a lot because he can. The dude has a very marketable and familiar voice. If he didn't charge a lot of money, than he'd probably get way too many offers to fullfill. Supply and demand. Patrick isn't stupid.

No.

As Pixar has shown "marketable and familiar" is not a requirement for a good voice actor.

Actually, being familiar could be a bad thing when instead of seeing and hearing the character, all you think is "It's patrick stewart!"

So I stand by my previous opinion.  Castlevania, yay.  Celebrity voiceover...meh.

But.... It's Patrick Stewart!  :D

Since I already know its patrick stewart, its a good choice; trying to visualize the character that will utilize the voice is a better way to see it.

For me, the big games were(in no particular order):
Metroid: Other M
Red Steel 2
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Brutal Legend
Crackdown 2
Left 4 Dead 2
Splinter Cell: Conviction
The Conduit
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow
No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle
God of War 3
Just Cause 2
Dead Rising 2
Batman: Arhkam Asylum
Modern Warfare 2
Uncharted 2
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite
Halo: ODST
Army of Two: The 40th Day
