Chalk that up with a nobody-is-safe sense of humor that makes South Park seem like the polite jokes parents say over Thanksgiving dinner.Īfter a sequel, the aptly named Postal 3, that was disowned by both developer Running With Scissors (who outsourced the project to a Russian developer) and fans alike, Postal 2: Paradise Lost was released 12 years after the original, debuting last month. A world where people went about their day to day business, not completely scripted like other games. Postal 2 was ahead of its time because the protagonist, simply named The Postal Dude, inhabited a breathing world.

Postal 2 captures the mundane real life experiences of standing in line at a checkout, except in the game you have the option to mow everyone down with a shotgun, using a cat as a silencer. Despite its option for violence, it’s possible to play through the game completely peacefully, albeit difficultly. Though, despite the protest from conservative parents, it was realized by gamers that the game was ahead of its time. Postal 2, released in 2003, was not short of controversy.
