    The limits placed on games by censors when it comes to language, sexuality, violence, and gore have been pushed a little farther back with the release of Postal 2. Many individuals and groups have gotten upset by the violent and unsuitable content in games these days. Many reviewers have felt pressured by these groups and the media outcry against such games to give “strictly factual� reviews. Reviewers are finding problems within games such as these to shine...

    A game that should be reviled and admired at the same time.  I kept wanting to despise the game but found myself playing it more and more. Read more

    What Share the Pain lacks in technological achievement--which is quite a bit--, it makes up for with black humor flatulency and (perhaps) cathartic mayhem of the gross-out guffawing variety. Read more

    Value- 5 As of the time of this review, copies of Postal 2: Share the Pain could be had for as little as $7 from online retailers, so that helps this score immensely. For $7 my expectations are really low- give me two or three amused nights and I feel like I got something out of the deal. Unfortunately, the game’s lack of robust multiplay and the repetitious nature of the single-player game found me bored and wanting to play something else after only about 5-7 hours of... Read more

    Postal 2: Share the Pain review Game Over Online - http://www.game-over.com Sometimes similar products are introduced in the same timeframe. It is either by sheer coincidence or by the timely plans of marketing gurus.

    This is the most violent game you can think of, it makes certain american lawyers cry (clue: it rhymes with Thack Jomson). Basically you live for a week in the life of Mr P. Dude, doesn't sound very interesting you say? Well theres a catch: Choice, instead of giving you a set way through the game you are given a list of chores to complete. You can go about these tasks however you want or even ignore them completely. Choice really comes into play with the violence you can... Read more
