I exactly wonder how the Postal games actually cause people to kill. I play Scorched Earth and it doesn't make me want to blow up other people in tanks, nor does the game Painkiller make me want to run around shooting stakes through cars for money.

This is like comic books and rock music all over again, but it is good that some of the companies are speaking out against the bias and the ignorance in the media and defending themselves.

Although I am kind of confused with Mr. Desi's wording of his press release, I am glad he took the time to speak out against the senseless scapegoatism.

Also, people will find new ways to get pissed off. It's the cycle of life, and maybe at least a couple of us will fall suspectible to being offended by something exciting and new.

Life goes on, but I think I may just check out Postal ($10, wheee) just for kicks.

Which part were you confused about?

Also, I recommend Postal 2. The original really was about a guy who goes 'postal'. The second just presented you with lots of situations where YOU as a player could 'go postal' if you really wanted to...

I agree. Postal 2 is much better.

I found that the original Postal's controls were clunky and unresponsive.

Really? I never had any problems with the controls. The isometric angle was a little hard to see where you could shoot though.

See, I never got this claim, and I think it's a little weak. I played Postal. I enjoy it. I don't think it's causing anyone to kill others. But at the same time, there are a lot of points in the game where someone is shooting at you ten feet away. The fact that you could potentially run away if your running-away skills are up to par doesn't really set it aside from any other FPS on the market.
