Luckily, adventure games seem to be on the rise (more high profile titles being made and all).

As for voice actors, one weird thing is Simon 4 getting an "american" localization. I think that is pretty unique (and a waste of money) for any game genre.

As Indigo said, voice direction is important. I used to live in a german-speaking country, and the company that did the german work on the Simpsons made a lot of effort to make sure that the American jokes got translated appropriately (or changed to something similar that would make sense to Germans). Funnily, I found that tv shows got good translations, but movies often got really horrible ones.
