...and the PC version got some unique characters specific to the PC version. Who would you want in it, and what would they be like?

The rules:
The character should be originally from a game that appeared first on PC.
The character must be capable of fighting with a melee weapon.
You can give as much or as little detail as you like about how they would appear in the game. Some examples of optional details include category of primary weapon (must be a melee weapon), choices of melee weapons, special moves, and selectable costumes.

I'll start with an obvious one: Gordon Freeman. Naturally, his primary weapon would be a crowbar. The default costume would be the HAZMAT suit as it appeared in HL2.

Crowbars to pick from would include the carbon steel "wrecking bar" from the Half-Life games. There would be a titanium variant which is lighter and faster but less damaging, and an I-beam variant that is slower but has longer reach.

Alternate costumes would include a lab coat, and the HAZMAT suit from HL1, with an option to have the helmet on or off.

Rayne in leather clad catsuit :D

Melee would have to be katana's

:twisted:

Lara Croft sporting her short shorts outfit and colts! :D

Or you could be the guy from Prince of Persia

Terrorist / Counter terrorist from counter strike.

weapon would be the knife.
alternate costumes would be all the different CT/T skins.

Doesn't Lara Croft use the USP?

47.

(From the Hitman games)

Normal costume: his suit.
Alternate costumes: every other male characters costumes.

Weapons: Hm... he's got so many to choose from... ;)

...

Or...

Some Jedi/Sith chick from a Star Wars game...

Oni. :mrgreen:

Or didn't she have a melee weapon? :?
Well, she kicks butt anyway. :P

Oni! How could I forget! ;)

Konoko fought unarmed in close combat.

Who else remembers the coolest weapon ever: the Mercury Rifle? ^_^;

Beat 'em ups don't really work well on the PC, since one needs a gamepad to have good control, and gamepads aren't standard PC gamer equipment. Some have them, but some do not. And there's not one unique PC gamepad. Some wouldn't have enough buttons, for example, for a more complex game.

How about Guybrush Threepwood with a Muskateer style sabre?

For you youngin's, he's the protagonist in the Monkey Island series.

Definitely Roger Wilco... with a mop.

(I know some of you will get the reference)

Bernard and Purple Tentacle from Day of the Tentacle. Not too sure what kinda weapons they'd have
