Storytelling has always played an important role in video games. Having a story gives players a reason to play and motivation to succeed. In the earliest days of gaming, this motivation had to be found on the side of the arcade cabinet, but over time, developers have been able to integrate layered and compelling narratives directly into their games.
GLaDOS is the highlight of the first Portal, and McLain's robotic, yet incredibly snarky performance immediately solidified her as one of gaming's most memorable antagonists. Portal 2 was released a few years later and featured the return of McLain, while also adding Stephen Merchant to the cast as the comically bumbling Wheatley, and J. K. Simmons as Cave Johnson, who's famous lemon rant perfectly embodies the hilarious humor found in both games.
But any potential anxieties would have been erased when God of War was finally released. Judge nails playing an older version of Kratos that's given more depth through his relationship with his son, Atreus . He brings a gruffer, more experienced edge to the character that is more than appropriate for this story. Ultimately, Judge's performance was critically acclaimed, and it even netted him a nomination for Best Performance at the 2018 Game Awards.
Max Payne 3 was released nine years after Max Payne 2, with development being headed by Rockstar Games instead of Remedy Entertainment as it had been in the past. Luckily, Rockstar had McCaffrey reprise his role, this time also allowing him to provide Max's likeness and motion capture performance. McCaffrey absolutely kills it as an older, wearier version of Payne, usually drunk or hungover, and with nothing left to lose.
