Gears of War 2 - Character Info

More Gears of War 2 info has arrived and as far as female characters go, it's not sounding too good ladies. Firstly there's Anya, you may recall she played the disembodied voice in the first Gears of War. She's back in the second and will apparently "play more of a role in the sequel" yippee... "getting her face in the action as an image on a video screen. Image? Oh well that sucks.

Other female characters mentioned in the article-that appeared in Game Informer magazine-include Maria Santiago, wife of Marcus Fenix's partner Dom. He'll be rescuing her in Gears of War 2, because let's face it that old chestnut NEVER gets old. Also it shows at least one of the characters has a wife, thus suggesting heterosexuality. The only other name mentioned is Dizzy, a "stranded soldier / truck driver" whose gender isn't mentioned, but let's assume it's a guy *sigh*. Dizzy was the name of a cool chick in Starship Troopers though, so you never know.
