Alyx Vance is the kind of girl you can bring home to meet the parents. The daughter of renowned scientist Dr. Eli Vance, she's got brains. A member of the Combine resistance, she also knows how to kick ass and take names with her trademark pistol. She has a tough, strong-willed personality, which helps her bail Gordon Freeman out of trouble a few times, yet she's also vulnerable at times. The best thing about Alyx may be that she doesn't have huge breasts or impossible proportions held together by tight leather bikinis or other revealing outfits. She's just flat-out cute and charismatic, even in a simple gray hooded sweatshirt.
Pros: Alyx is highly intelligent, proficient with electronics and weapons, tough as nails, and extremely easy on the eyes in a girl-next-door kind of way.
Cons: Her outfit could use some work - especially the head band - and she's got a giant, overprotective robot named Dog.
Should Be Played By: Rosario Dawson or Jessica Alba. I can't decide, but either one would be a worthy choice.
A futuristic super-skilled bounty hunter/mercenary who's adept at stealth action and industrial espionage, Joanna first appeared in the bestselling N64 title Perfect Dark, which was developed by GoldenEye 007 designer Rare. Her hair color was more brown or auburn back then. She also appeared in Perfect Dark Zero for the Xbox 360, this time sporting flaming red hair with a blonde streak and a skin tight body suit. Hair color aside, she's all three Charlie's Angels rolled into one.
Pros: Gorgeous red hair, athletic physique, and a natural born ability to destroy all opposition.
Cons: She was home-schooled, is often distrustful and has a mean temper.
Should Be Played By: Lindsay Lohan? Well, she's too short and she's in rehab. Nicole Kidman? Too old at this point. Looks like we'll have to go with the brunette Joanna, and if that's the case, then Jessica Biel gets the nod. Can't you just picture her in the body suit?
She's half human, half vampire and all red-headed hotness. Rayne is the protagonist of BloodRayne and BloodRayne 2, who also posed for Playboy Magazine in 2004. She spends her days sleeping and avoiding daylight and her nights slaughtering Nazi occult groups, evil vampires and other supernatural forces with giant, wrist-mounted blades and other weapons. Rayne also has crossover appeal; in addition to Playboy, she's appeared in a music video, a comic book series and a feature film (which was terrible).
Pros: She's got superhuman abilities, fiery red hair, a killer body and she never ages. Ever.
Cons: Her father is a vampire that raped her mother, she sucks blood and you can't take her to the beach. Ever.
Was Played By: Kristanna Loken of "Terminator 3" fame. Not a bad choice, but she isn't a natural redhead. And yes, it makes a difference.
