No, NO VOICE OVER WORK. That's been the rule for a while. The actors are NOT handling the weapons, their avatar is and that is NOT the same.

If there is an actual acted piece with real life actors in it (like Kari_Wuhrer) then it is okay, but screenshots are a must in this case.

So no linking weapons to their page, but is it cool to make note of the voice actor on the game's page?

Sure, but don't make note of the game on the actor's page. As MPM said, the only time we include actors' video game work is if they were in full-motion video (FMV) sequences that are a part of the game.

I knew I had read this rule someplace, but I couldn't find a citation. (Some dude was adding Kevin McKidd's MW2 work.) Is it in the rules? If not, can you put it in there? Or at least in the Main talk page?
