This is a good question since we are talking Build games: What would be your rankings for best voice lines in Build games and why?

Here is mine:
1. Blood (Caleb has some of the best delivery of all time, it's perfect and the showtunes just make it even better)

2. Shadow Warrior (John Galt is fucking amazing and hilarious, so good and he improved most of those lines)

3. Duke Nukem 3D (Definitely the most memorable one liners of the bunch, but that's because they're all stolen from movies. To be fair many of Caleb's are as well. It doesn't matter though, the way they Duke does them is better than the delivery in the original film in many cases)

4. Powerslave (The Hero doesn't have a ton of lines but they're descent. I particularly like the delivery of the pained "ARRGH-SON OF A BITCH" when you take damage and some of the lines that trigger when you're fighting and killing a lot of enemies like "COME ON!". Some however are shitty like the corny sounding "SEE YA!" when you kill an enemy or the "EAT IT!" that happens when you fire continuously that sounds like the guy had a mouthful of marbles)

5. Redneck Rampage/Rides Again (The voice lines sound like a believable redneck and some are funny. Not a huge fan of this series though)

6. Ion Fury (Shelly's lines are not good and way too few. I usually turn them off. Some are OK but it's a pale comparison to the glory days)

Haven't played the others yet, do they have voice lines?

Not a Build Engine game per se but:

**. Ken's Labyrinth (Absolute cornball shit done by Ken himself, game design itself was not his strong suit, it was the engine design that he was skilled at)
