"TUCSON, Ariz., April 10 /PRNewswire/ -- It's official. POSTAL 2, the single most controversial and highly anticipated sequel in the history of videogames, will be in stores April 14, 2003.

Beyond "Intense Violence," POSTAL 2 enjoys the Entertainment Software Rating Board's livid labels of "Mature Humor, Adult Language, Use of Drugs and Blood and Gore." POSTAL 2 has already taken the #1 slot on the "Most Popular PC Games" list on GameSpot.com.

'Over the past week, our GoPostal.com website's been obliterated by incoming hits,' spat out a gung-ho Vince Desi, Running With Scissors' Mad Minister of Mayhem. 'We live by our infamous motto, 'It's always funny until someone gets hurt ... and then it's absolutely friggin' hysterical.' We made POSTAL 2 for our fans -- not for politicians, parents or 'penis challenged' critics.'

Bravely published by Whiptail Interactive, POSTAL 2 brings a whole new sick and twisted perspective to videogaming. Joining the Postal Dude on a crusade of carnage is notorious TV star Gary Coleman, who romps through the brilliantly conceived gamescape flanking graphically exploding heads, rivers of urine, vomit and oceans of blood -- not to mention the occasional screaming cat being stuffed onto the muzzle of a shotgun.

'Our fans are truly amazing,' bragged the devoted Desi. 'The original Postal's appeal goes far beyond its controversial subject matter, and POSTAL 2's sheer outrageousness promises to expand the Postal Dude's cult-like following.'

'Sadly, the world's a troubled place, but if you can't sit back, relax, and enjoy the utter absurdity of it all with some intense violence, mature humor, adult language, drugs, blood and gore every now and then -- what's the point?' exalted a proudly patriotic P. Dude.

POSTAL 2 will be available in North America, Europe, Japan and Russia to start.
