"POSTAL 2: Share The Pain" to Ship In Europe
Running With Scissors Makes Peace with UN
"Since it seems like so many European countries are upset
with America at the moment because of our foreign policy, we felt it was the
ideal time to offer them a harmless means of venting their rage," explained Running
With Scissors' honcho and international diplomat Vince Desi. "We
sat down at the UN and reached an agreement with our European Allies to share
our pain, as in POSTAL 2: Share The Pain."
Representing Europe is hell-tech, a Greek publishing and distribution company
that is committed to getting the game on retail shelves across Europe. "We've
seen what Running With Scissors has done in the past and we wanted
to share in their success," explained hell-tech's Christos T.
"We've dealt with publishers and distributors who've been missing in action," Desi
admitted, "but we know that hell-tech's people will fight like Spartans
to make this game a success in Europe. If they have to, they'll smuggle our games
into stores inside a big wooden horse."
POSTAL 2: Share The Pain offers both an enhanced single-player
version of the original POSTAL 2 as well as four multiplayer options,
including a Capture-the-Flag variant dubbed "Snatch" that employs
the booty-full Postal Babes. Among the 25 characters who populate the
game, which is rapidly becoming a favorite among LAN gamers, is RWS spokesperson
Gary Coleman.
As usual, an expectation of controversy accompanies Share The Pain's arrival
on the other side of the Big Pond. "We already have a loyal following among
European gamers who sometimes go to great lengths to buy a copy," countered
a confident Desi. "This distribution deal with hell-tech provides the opportunity
for more Europeans to discover the joys of going POSTAL, American style."
