I think you guys are over reacting to Samus' voice. I think it is well placed. First what you have to realize is you are hearing mostly her inner monologue, not necessarily her speak a lot in the videos we have seen. Also, Samus is not Lara Croft - especially at this point Ripley - she is not self affirmed. I think the voice direction works, maybe some of the lines could be better, but i think the same about 95% of hollywood movies and 99.99% of videogames. Show me a videogame with stellar voice work (akin to Toy Story 3) - I'll give you a cookie.

 Uncharted 1 & 2 might be literally filled with cliches, but they do have stellar voice work. And so do the games that Khuutra mentioned, as well as Madworld. (Well, the announcers, at least.)

Now gimme my fucking cookie.

Saying Uncharted 2's voice-work is great is like saying Indiana Jones was Harrison Ford's best work, The voice-work is serviceable at best - You still didn't truly answer my request... Uncharted 2's voice-work is nowhere close to Toy Story 3... not even in the same ballpark. Though I may give you a cookie on the Madworld bit... I think to date they were the best announcers in a game... Bender is so good.
