An excellent all-in-one compilation pack of a cult classic. Here's a copy of my Postal 2 review, which fully applies to the compilation as well (though it's obviously better and more diverse):
Postal 2 - in short, a game which will confront your prejudices (if any). If the events depicted were real, they would be sickening. They aren't however, and doing crazy things you can't do in real life is precisely what gaming is all about.
Every aspect of the game is intentionally surreal and humorous, thoroughly wiping its ass and crotch with a wide variety of taboos. That's why there's such a massive cult following even after all these years - no game has ever come close as no developer has dared to risk their image to this degree. Debauchery at its finest.
And surprisingly (if you've read any of the hateful reviews), the game is actually pretty damn good in many ways. The sound design is excellent (I'll never forget the shovel *THUNK* sound), exploration is balanced and fun in the typical 90s shooter style plus there's a mad variety of in-game situations and locations given its budget.
Personally I really enjoy the game's ability to attract politically motivated criticism, yet banal entertainment is precisely what gaming was built on. Weren't most of the successful games throughout history little more than massacre simulations? Did the imps in Diablo really deserve to be be smitten by the thousands, or the soldiers in Red Alert to be torched to death with napalm? What of Mario and his animal-mushroom cruelty?
There's even an article associating Postal 2 with Gamergate, while in reality the fanbase rarely engages in political discussion. The game is too crazy to spark any serious discussion among its fans so we don't actually know their political views, and in the few cases I have seen it there were actually more progressives - though both sides were unusually civil.
In a nutshell, I strongly advise ignoring any politically motivated criticism towards the game and to simply make up your own mind. Chances are, you won't regret it.
