Why is voice acting in games rarely good?

It seems as though when games are made they leave it up to the mail room to dub voice overs. Why do you think it's that hard to get a good voice over in a game? Check out this clip of resident evil for the ds and see for yourself exactly what i'm talking about. LOL

Banjo Kazooie/Tooie had some of the best voice acting I've ever heard [grin]. Gibberish noises, cleverly chosen. The toilet speaks in farts!

The voice acting is terrible because you're not playing StarCraft.

Even though you only had a birds eye view of Sarah, you knew she was hot...

I have extremely detailed and unique ideas for major projects, anyone interested in advanced programming, server setup (I have about five gigs of webspace at my disposal) and multimedia design should E-mail me at Fatimus@Gmail.com

The Brothers in Arms series is a great example of how to do voice acting right. Not only do they have a sweet director/directing staff, the voice actors themselves are top-notch, if not household names.
