I have used Teamspeak[1] in the past for gaming. IT works quite well and is free, but closed source.
All you need is a mic and speakers (or a headset). I have been with groups with 40+ people from all over N.America. It has nice admin features similar to IRC. ie admins, limited admin, block by IP, allow by IP, "listen only" etc...
