POSTAL Games Join GOG Library - News

Print Running With Scissors, developer of the long-running POSTAL franchise, has announced a distribution deal with DRM-free game site, GOG.com. GOG sells games without copyright protection as part of the DRM-free digital distribution movement that has had such a significant impact on the software industry.
The deal will bring POSTAL: Classic & Uncut (including the Special Delivery pack) and POSTAL 2, along with its retinue of Expansion Packs as well as other bonus items to the game site. All POSTAL games are compatible with Windows Vista and XP formats but you must be at least 18 years old to participate.
The original POSTAL was recently named among the ten most controversial video games of all time by a Yahoo survey. Its sequels, meanwhile, are first person shooters designed with more in mind than just bashing characters with a shovel or making use of the infamous "cat silencer" (wonderful as those things may be).
"The game's politically incorrect humor is what has kept this franchise going for 11 years," RWS Instigator-in-Chief, Vince Desi attested. "There are a lot of violent first-person shooters out there, but we're still standing because we make people laugh in addition to providing them with a first-rate shooter. We also like this deal with GOG.com as it gives more people the opportunity to get onboard the POSTAL express. And besides, it's whatRunning With Scissors is all about - freedom of expression."
Adam Oldakowski, Managing Director of GOG.com, agreed. "Running With Scissors is a group of funny and crazy people, and maybe that's why everything's gone so smoothly with this deal." Adam also pointed out that this is a great opportunity for gamers who were too young to play these games when they were first released to see what all the shouting was about.
Other recent POSTAL-based products include an excellent Postal Babes mobile game and a Special Edition of Uwe Boll's outrageous film version of "Postal" which is now available on DVD.

Although it does not include all the patch notes, I thought I'd add this now so you get the general idea of what will change in the next major World of Warcraft Patch 2.4.0.
The image on the Blizzard Entertainment Splash Page is updated, continuing to raise expectations that an announcement is forthcoming from this weekend's Worldwide Invitational event.
Electronic Arts Inc. announced today that The Sims Castaway Stories for the PC is on store shelves across Europe.

Although Pro Street has been released, EA continues to create new patches for Carbon.
Welcome back, LEGION. Indeed, Joe Kucan is back, portraying the legendary self-proclaimed prophet Kane, through 20 years of Command and Conquer history: past, present and future. The 13 missions spread story explains what happened to the Brotherhood of Nod right after the Second Tiberium War, and fill the history gap left by the original Command and Conquer 3. And then of course some more, the action takes us a bit more into the future, showing just a sneak peak of the shape of things to come.
"A murder?...a suicide?...an accident?...a coincidence?... Follow the evidence and find the moment of truth. It's all about the evidence and more like the show than ever" We'll see...
The stellar "Sins of a Solar Empire" hits our PCs with a unique interesting new combination of game genres and a few cool ideas that should draw the attention of quite a few strategy fans. The newcomer Ironclad Games managed the impossible and created a competitive title indeed. But aside from all the prays and high marks this game received overall, its approach on RTS and the mix of elements it brings, one can find some things that will bother a few players and that will eventually influence the grades of this review. Ok, let's take it from the top.
Sherlock Holmes, the worlds` greatest detective, created by Arthur Conan Doyle is about to face his biggest challenge so far: Arsene Lupin, the worlds` greatest thief, created by Maurice Leblanc. Who is going to win this battle of wits? Who is going to be victorious, and, most importantly, who would you like to see as the winner?
I thought a bit about how to start this. While saying that Silent Hunter IV is the best submarine simulator out there is true, it doesn't mean much, especially for new players. Saying it is one of the best simulator games out there is again accurate, but again, a bit of an understatement. Why? Well because... despite the high complexity and realism involved, Ubisoft Romania managed to develop a game that is appealing to the beginners as well, in a certain degree.
Lineage II had it share of success. At the time the game was released, it was one of the most beautiful MMOG on the market. To take its place as the most beautiful MMOG, the Ragnarok Online (or RO) developers from imcGames created Sword of the New World: Granado Espada.
We were able to take part in 2 battles and what we saw pleased us. The transition to the 3D helped the game and gave it a better view on the battlefield. You can move the camera and this way you get a better look at the action. The units are amazing and their animations are clean and good looking. Same goes for spells and effects: you will love what you see.
Last week I began to search some new independent games. Suddenly I stumbled upon this interesting racing game called Nitro Stunt Racing. The title sounds non-original but the content tends to be if not original, at least interesting.
In a perfect world, everything is controlled by a balance between Chaos and Order. But what happens if things start to get messy and a great evil is about to unleash an epic conflict onto the universe? This is what NCsoft decided to unveil and also explain why Aion is a MMO bound to have success.
So here I am back on the road with a BMW. This time in Race 07 demo. The only racing-simulation game that really impressed me at GC. But only with the help of the Steam client which probably will become the "god" of online distribution! Anyway a big minus for this decision of playing the game only through Steam.
must have rogue macros
must have priest macros
must have mage macros
must have druid macros
Just for you, some Medieval 2 cheats.
