Postal 2
Notice: Not suitable for children
In the second game of the series, you are "the dude", living in a shabby trailer on the edge of the town of Paradise with a significant other whose nagging is just one of the many reasons you might just go over the edge.
Each day you leave home with a list of chores, and day one finds you heading to the office to pick up your check, but a pink slip awaits, as the game continues to urge you to cross the line.
Unlike the 1997 Postal however, in this game you can choose not to let things push you over the edge, instead following a pacifistic route, though you are certain to witness mass carnage either way.
Additional Game Features:
Developer: Running With Scissors
Publishers: Windows edition by Whiptail Interactive , Linux version by Linux Game Publishing
Released April 2003
Minimum System Requirements
733 MHz Pentium 3, 128 MB RAM, 8x CD-ROM, 32 MB GeForce2-class, DirectX 8.1 compatible video and sound card required.
Trivia: Postal III is set to be released in 2008 on PC and Xbox 360. It is currently being developed by Running With Scissors and Akella, using Valve's Source engine.
It's always funny until someone gets hurt... and then it's absolutely friggin' hysterical!

Sometimes you just feel like urinating on a decapitated protester. Personally the most exciting part of the game for me was setting up large-scale explosions in the Paradise Mall parking lot, you could do a lot of fun things with Petrol and a box of matches!
