Should the main character (hero) be voiced or silent


http://www.pcgamer.com/dishonored-half-life-silent-protagonist/
As the theory goes, inserting a speechless playable character into a narrative-centric game yields the digital equivalent of the tabula rasa, and upon this blank slate, the player may imprint whatever personality she wishes. Or, as Zach Sensei puts it on his blog:
When playing a game with a silent protagonist there is no clear distinction between your voice and theirs. Having a silent protagonist is one of the best ways to ensure the player has a more personal connection to the protagonist. When another character in a game talks to the silent protagonist our emotional reaction becomes the hero’s reaction. We are no longer forced to accept the character’s emotional responses if they are different than the way we would behave.  “Silent Protagonist”,The Art of Gaming 101, 15 Aug. 2011)
Games I loved with voice acting for the main player
Alan Wake (very story heavy)


Games i loved without voice acting
Dishonored
Dead space
Half life
Dead space
Bastion


Exploration/Puzzle games with silent protaginist
Portal 1 and 2
The stanley parable
The Talos principle


Even if not silent needs a Wilson:Castaway to talk to. Or a glados:portal Wheatley:portal2
