Postal is a Non-Stop-Killing, Action-Strategy, Psychological Thriller. And that ainÆt bullshit û this is the real deal. And it ain't no 1st person shooter!

Damn, this is one feature-packed, realistic, sick and twisted game. And itÆs definitely not for little kids. The violence is realistic, not sugar-coated. If you ask me, sugar-coated violence is whatÆs truly evil û weÆre just showing it like it is.
So, whatÆs the best feature of all? ThatÆs easy: awesome, addictive gameplay! Because beyond the visual and audio effects and the twisted story and all the other crap, it all comes down to gameplay. We know it, the real gamers know it, and even The Gimp knows it. If it ainÆt got gameplay, none of it matters.
