Best Game Dialogue

My two favorites:

Star Fox 64

There is just so much out there. I won't even bother posting any. If you have played, you will know what I am talking about. If you haven't played it, you won't appreciate the highly corny chatter. Dialogue was actually phsyically half of the game (memory-wise).

Star Craft

Just keep clicking on a unit over and over to hear them get increasinly annoyed! Great fun, though only the Terrans are interesting.

What other games have interesting/funny/corny dialogue?

Warcraft III (also made by Blizzard, obviously)
Click the human sorceresses over and over again.
"Click me, baby, one more time..."
"For the end of the world spell, press Ctrl, Alt, Delete."

The bomb-throwing dwarves in Myth II were pretty funny.

The line "I think you're a thief because you stole my heart" from Morrowind had me crackin' up (it was a guy saying it to a guy).

I liked Cespanar the imp in the Baldur's Gate II expansion. A devil after mine own heart.

The dialogue engine in Planescape Torment was impressively applied, resulting in very complex conversations that could take the game in many different directions depending on what you said or how you answered.

The little Covenant grunts in Halo and Halo II crack me up. I like the way the Elites talk shyte too.

i hated the Star Fox 64 dialogue. because it was all babyish and stupid. as was the whole game. it didn't have the mature, gritty, scary feel to it that the original Star Fox had

ie: at the end of the game Andross says something like: "only i have the brains to rule the land" and then he turns into a giant pre-school cartoon brain

. although the tone of the game is babyish right from start to finish; not just at the ending.

as for best dialogue: i'd have to rate Nocturne as having some of the very best dialogue ever. some extremely clever writing and immaculate delivery by the voice-actors in that one.

likewise for Mafia

Vampire the Masquerade: Redemption had some great voice-acting in it although i felt the dialogue kinda of started to decrease a lot in quality once Christof got turned. then it mostly just became about throwing in as much silly jargon as possible to appease the Pen and Paper game players.

Betrayal at Krondor has the best-written dialogue i've ever seen in any game, but i'm not sure if that counts for this thread because it's all presented in text format instead of voice-acting

Star Control 2, of course. Quite simply the best space adventure ever.

You can download the Ur-Quan Masters remake for free at http://sc2.sourceforge.net/. Don't let the 0.3a state scare you, it's entirely playable from start to finish.

The dialogue in the Splinter Cell games is pretty good.

When Sam Fisher grabs a guard from behind and holds a knife to his throat:

Guard: "Who are you?"

Sam: "I'm the monster in the closet."
