Today is the day that comes after Friday, which means one thing here at Joystiq: another fun filled (and librarian approved) Swag Saturday!
This week, we're giving away ten copies of the recently released Gears of War Jacinto's Remnant novel. While we can't be sure how entertaining the copy reads, we are certain that the novel's Marcus Fenix artwork oozes badass. He has an intimidating glare that can both kill his enemies and make women weak in their tree limb-sized knees. (Get a room, you two! -Ed.)
- Leave a comment telling us who your favorite character is within' the Gears of War universe.
- You must be 18 years or older and a resident of the US or Canada, excluding Quebec.(Nous sommes désolés, Québecois!)
- Limit 1 entry per person.
- This entry period ends at 3:31 pm ET on Sunday, August 16. We'll randomly select ten winners at that time to receive: one copy of Gears of War Jacinto's Remnant (ARV $15).

Sorry for the post hijack, but this is really unfair for Quebec people. Stupid contest that exclude only us is dumb. Get your legal mojo together to include us in future because Quebec, as well as Anonymous, NEVER FORGETS.

Favorite character? I think that's got to be Cole.
Bubby Douglas @ Aug 15th 2009 3:35PM
Adam Fenix, as far as IN the games, I'd say Baird.

Well, I don't have a xbox. But my brother in law does, I'd love to win. He just had a baby so this would be a nice distraction for him.
AsceticWanderer @ Aug 15th 2009 3:36PM
My favorite character would be Anya, because she's HOT. At least, she's hot in Gears 2..

Damon Baird... "This won't hurt a bit. You'll just die."
Major Suckage @ Aug 15th 2009 3:39PM
Carmine. One gets killed and another pops up in its place.
maveric101 @ Aug 15th 2009 11:47PM
anthony (gears 1) was my favorite. carmine is the kenny of gears. i'm wondering how they'll kill off the last two carmines in one game... or maybe they make it Saving Private Carmine: kill a third carmine, and then go save the last one. prolly not.

Gotta love The Train, baby!
Andrew @ Aug 15th 2009 3:42PM
Cole
Crusty Magic @ Aug 15th 2009 3:42PM
Cole easily.
He has the only likable personality throughout both of the games.
Baird is good too, but he's such a dick!
D CEPTN 17 @ Aug 15th 2009 3:44PM
No one plays this game like Cole Train! No one!
Gary @ Aug 15th 2009 3:43PM
Barid is my favorite!

RANDOM G [King of the Scribblenauts][Sweatshop Retiree] @ Aug 15th 2009 3:50PM
My favorite character is Random Gear #146. He can be seen during Prescott's speech and later, when his head is blown off by a Locust sniper. #146 is one of the great tragic heroes of the modern gaming era.
Rawnzilla @ Aug 15th 2009 3:51PM
I like Carmine and Anya. Probably Anya more.
R (Planeteers | Power of Penile Pulse) @ Aug 15th 2009 3:51PM
Locust Queen. God I the things I would do to that....
..What? Who cares if she's a bloodythirsty monster that leads a vast evil army. She hot yo!
Yan @ Aug 15th 2009 3:51PM
Mr. Fenix himself, of course.
Fierod @ Aug 15th 2009 3:53PM
My favorite character out of the whole universe would be Bernie, someone to shut Baird up, hope she's in this new book as well.
Jew of America @ Aug 15th 2009 8:32PM
Who's Bernie?
Arkhetype @ Aug 16th 2009 1:55PM
She is a character in the first book Aspho Fields.
