Postal III, Source Engine Still Coming To Linux 90
An anonymous reader writes "It appears that the Source Engine Postal III game is coming to Linux as was originally planned and is slated for release in May, according to the Running With Scissors CEO. 'Yes we are still planning a Linux release. We, that is RWS, are waiting for a final beta from our production team in Moscow. Like you and yours, we are anxious and frustrated. ... It looks like May if all goes well. We are hopeful to reach a distribution deal at GDC and [worst] case we go [direct download] and will find another team [for] Linux.'"

Quite frankly I'd say that the Postal series is actually bad for gaming they are normally quite poor, and create a lot of controversy which the developers nor publishers address.
Which is just plain bad for the medium.

I disagree quite heavily.
Postal is the only game series where your quest is to buy some milk, and then you go out and kill everything that moves. Does that kind of remind you of your typical MMO quest, except it's a lot more honest about the "yeah, we only make up a thin excuse of a story so you don't feel like it's mindless killing" part?
They also made fun of terrorists back when everyone else was afraid of them.
It's certainly not a masterpiece, but there's a bit more in it than what you make out, and it rightfully has its fans.

The funny part being that it possible to get a significant part of the way through the game, if not complete it, without killing anyone. Which just shows you how bloodthirsty you really are. =p
