One of these days, all games will have decent voice-acting. At least, they will if I ever become president. Forget famine and peacekeeping: decent in-game line delivery would be top of my agenda, 9am, Monday morning.

Of course, by then it'd be too late for KnightShift, an RTS/RPG hybrid blighted by one of the worst scripts and some of the most risible acting performances you're ever likely to witness. Lines such as, "Hast thou also had problems with pesky wolves and mangy bears?" are hard enough to take seriously at the best of times. But when they're woodenly delivered by hideously untalented thespians, it's almost impossible not to laugh out loud. Apparently KnightShift is supposed to be funny, but we reckon it gets the laughs for all the wrong reasons.
