It's always funny until someone gets hurt... and then it's absolutely friggin' hysterical!

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:

  • Walk a week in the Postal Dude's shoes.

  • Freely explore full 3-D open-ended environments.

  • Interact with over 100 unique NPC's including Gary Coleman, marching bands, dogs, cats and elephants, protesters, policemen and civilians, with or without weapons.

  • Accessible map of town shows all main locations.

  • HUD displays current weapon and available ammo, inventory button displaying current selected item, and health status.

  • Arsenal includes a pistol, shotgun, fully automatic rifle, gasoline can, Molotov cocktails, frag grenades, rockets and more.

  • POSTAL 2 is all about choice; experiment with everyone and everything.

  • Originally a complete single player game, various multiplayer modes were later added in the "Share the Pain" edition.

  • Powered by the Unreal 2.0 engine.

  • The "1337" patch reduced long load times, and added levels, such as "Tora Bora Cave" where the dude comes across Osama Bin Laden in the course of his search for weapons of mass destruction.

Alter your reality... forever

A first-person shooter by Epic Games and Digital Extremes, Unreal was the game that started the highly successful and epic (pun not intended) franchise, and was seen as a direct rival to id Software's Quake series (both with the games and the technologies powering them).

You are a convict on a prison transport ship when the ship crashes, marooning you on a strange, magnificent world the likes of which you've never seen. Battle the ruthless Skaarj as you try to free the race they're enslaving. Use your translator to decipher your surroundings, and above all, stay on your toes!
]]> 12 Jan 2007 06:53:23 Kingpin: Life of Crime In Kingpin you start out with nothing but a bruising from the henchmen of the local crime boss. After that it's all about revenge, and surviving the roughest parts of a gritty urban environment that has elements of a historical past, but never quite existed.

As you work your way up you win the respect of those you need to help you, as well as do what it takes to acquire the wealth needed to keep rising through the ranks until you're the top dog. Among other things, cash is useful at the "pawn-o-matic" found in each chapter as a means to purchase weapons and ammunition.

The game is bloody, vulgar and relentlessly violent, and has received criticism over this. When installing, you can opt for a reduced level of violence and swearing, although that seems contrary to the inevitable objectives of the game.


The game features nine deadly weapons ranging from lead pipes and pistols to grenade launchers, bazookas and flamethrowers. Multi-player support is provided for both LAN and Internet and offers customizable pre-game options such as time limits, flag limits (maximum death toll) and a cash limit. Up to 16 players can bully and bludgeon their way through an online game at any given time.

Also featured are soundtrack music by Cypress Hill, clever level layouts, an intuitive and fully customizable gui, "area specific damage" to characters, blood, and a gritty, urban ghetto feel through carefully crafted and performed dialogue, sound effects and the artful use of haze and custom textures to achieve the best possible looks the Quake 2 engine could produce at that time.

Developed by Xatrix Entertainment on the Quake II engine, Kingpin: Life of Crime was published on June 30, 1999 by Interplay.

System requirements: 233MHz Processor, 64Mb RAM, OpenGL 3D Graphics card
