The game was featured on channel 4 NBC and was recalled in other countries because of it's terrisom and offense to other people religon's. It's just like when Kakuto Chojin was recalled from stores by microsoft for misusing religious prayers.

I think this happened to GTA and Carmagedden or whatever it was called.But it is still being sold in the US right?

Postal 2 is extremely violent. I'll bet some stores won't even carry them and other would keep the games under lock and key and would open only if the buyer signs an agreement the game will not end up in kid's hand. :P For all I care, it can be sold only in adult stores next to a blow up dolls and a few unsold copies of Panesian games. ;)

People managed to get Night Trap pulled from stores, they could try and pressure retailers not to sell Postal 2 at all.

Walmart accounts for an extraordinary percentage of video/pc game game sales in the U.S.(like 40% or something), and they don't carry Postal 2.

I wouldn't be surprised if Senator Lieberman uses Postal 2 to get himself in the news, spurring some other stores to not carry/recall Postal 2

Ah for the days of Dracula X when you waltz into a church and kill demons with a big ol' cross to the head...

This is vaguely off topic, but just so you know and all..

I played Postal 2 (Review copy, freelance writer- I didn't pay for this shitpile) for a good while this afternoon. It's absolutely awful. In terms of a "Game", it's complete and total crap. There really are no redeeming qualities to it that I found, save the physics engine allowing me to kick heads and boxes around. That was it. That was the best part of the game, and the folks who walked in on me playing were quick to agree.

In terms of offensiveness, it's just so over the top it comes off as stupid, annoying. It frustraits me that if it makes a big stink, that THIS fetid pile of pig crap is what the media will say a video game is... Plus, I'm not sure that the numerous direct attacks on Lieberman's character were really the best way to get him to see reason =P

ugh, I can't even write any more, I'm too annoyed at this thing.
