** ''[[Castlevania: Chronicles of Sorrow|Dawn of Sorrow]]'' has these in Japanese, as it was never translated into English, voicewise. The fight {{spoiler|against Soma as Dracula is particularly notable, with his marvellous evil laugh, and the way he calls out the name of the person you are using while throwing his wine glass away. Julius... BERUMONDOOOOOAAAAA!}}
* Minsc from the ''[[Baldur's Gate|Baldurs Gate]]'' series is a [[Boisterous Bruiser]]-flavored ham with his constant shouting of battlecries and enthusiasm.
{{quote|"I grow tired of shouting battlecries when fighting this mage! Boo will ''finish his eyeballs'' ONCE AND FOR ALL so he ''DOES NOT RISE AGAIN!''' ''EVIL! MEET MY SWORD!'' '''SWOOOOOORD! MEEEEEET! EEEEEEEEVIIIIIIIIIL!"'''}}
** His [[Evil Counterpart]] Korgan is nearly as bad with his over-the-top [[Violent Glaswegian]] acting. Most of the villains get some epic [[Chewing the Scenery]] lines, but most of them, with the possible exception of Irenicus, also know when calmness is called for.
** Just those two? ''[[Baldur's Gate|Baldurs Gate]]'' is a textbook example of a [[World of Ham]]. There isn't a single character who ''isn't'' awesomely over the top and loving it. The closest thing you can find to a character played normally is the [[Fake Russian]] half-elf druid.
* The ''[[Command & Conquer]]'' RTS series of games is legendary for its wonderfully cheesy FMV cutscenes and a healthy dose of [[Deadpan Snarker]]ey, but the ''Red Alert'' games take it to a whole other level of, er... enthusiasm. A few specific examples:
** In-game, you have the [[Psycho Electro|Tesla Troopers]], who toss off [[Bond One-Liner]]s such as ''"Burn, baby, burn!!"'' in a cheesy Ahnuld accent.
