The second game release this month. After “Brink”, we now get “The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings”, a role-playing video game developed by Polish studio CD Projekt RED for Microsoft Windows and Xbox 360. Damian voices various characters.
Please click the picture below to get to the official website, but only if you’re over 17 years of age.
11 May 2011 sees the release of “Brink” –
an immersive first-person shooter that blends single-player, co-op, and multiplayer gameplay into one seamless experience, allowing you to develop your character whether playing alone, with your friends, or against others online. You decide the combat role you want to assume in the world of Brink as you fight to save yourself and mankind’s last refuge. Brink offers a compelling mix of dynamic battlefields, extensive customization options, and an innovative control system that will keep you coming back for more.
Damian O’Hare’s is one of the eight “voices” you can choose from to play (with a “fairly strong Northern Irish accent”).
“Brink” is available on Amazon and suitable for folks over 16 years of age. Frank, authority for all things gaming, has already placed an order, so buyers shouldn’t be disappointed.
Don’t ask me – my favourite VG is Plants vs. Zombies…
I’m a declared VG luddite, but I admit I’m very tempted to pre-order the “Pirates of the Caribbean” Lego game, if it should be released for PC as well. The brand new trailer released today by Disney France looks hilarious.
Here’s a screencap. Marines that should have gone to Specsavers and a befuddled Norrington. You can choose one of 70 characters to play; whether Gillette will be one of them, I don’t know yet.
My favourite scene so far:
One for the gamers: Damian has lent his voice to various “Helghast Soldiers” in Killzone III, which has been released on 22 February, 2011.
According to Wikipedia, Killzone III
… is a 2011 first-person shooter for the PlayStation 3, developed by Guerrilla Games and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. It is the fourth installment in the Killzone series, the first game in the series to be presented in 3D and the first to include motion controls using the PlayStation Move.
More about it on the official website. Please note that you need to be at least 18 years old to visit.
After lending his voice to characters in “Fable II” back in 2008, Damian O’Hare is also part of “Fable III”, which will be released for Xbox 360 on 29th October, 2010. More information and pre-orders here:
The main cast are John Cleese, Michael Fassbender, Stephen Fry, Naomie Harris, Bernard Hill, Nicholas Hoult, Sir Ben Kingsley, Simon Pegg, Sean Pertwee and Zoë Wanamaker.
I’ve added a skeleton page for Damian’s voice acting; it lists ads, but mostly the VGs he was involved with. There are titles, dates and links; please note that most of those games are suitable for +16 only and that your date of birth will be asked for. I’m not responsible for the content of external links and you click at your own risk.
I also updated the biography and corrected a gazillion of typos and incorrect translations in the German version of the website. Thanks a lot to Andreas S. for the information on the video games as well as for German-betaing.
As previously reported, Damian O’Hare is the voice of character “Olf” in VG “Risen”. The game was released on 2 October and has so far received good feedback from the gamer community. If you’re interested in “Risen”, you can have a look at the official website, or watch one of the “step-by-step” guides on youtube (see below). Test downloads are available as well.
Here’s an excerpt from the game, complete with the type of pseudo-medieval music which is the pièce de résistance of spas everywhere. Olf, the character voiced by Damian O’Hare, makes his appearance at 1:21 and has a bit of a sore throat.
The rumour addressed in a previous post has now been confirmed all over the gamer-place:
Risen Voice Talent Cast Revealed
Damian’s in excellent company:

There’s a question mark up there because the only source for this information is IMDB, which is about as reliable as The Sun. But just in case it’s true and it might brighten up this Sunday for the gamers and role players among you:
According to IMDB, Damian will voice a character called “Olf” in the UK version of “Risen”, to be released on 2 October (in Germany) and brought to you by Piranha Bytes and Deep Silver.
