The Games Domain has posted a preview on Running with Scissors' upcoming Unreal engine powered - first person shotoer, Postal 2. Here's some lovin':

The physics of enemy targets are somewhat redolent of those in the recent Minority Report or Unreal games - there's a scheme of overtly cartoonish 'rag-doll mechanics' here, particularly when foes are booted around with the player's first-person kick command (a last-ditch but satisfying attack when ammo for all other weapons is temporarily depleted). Paradise, Arizona also seems to have a preponderance of crappy little hatchback vehicles, and a well-placed shot into any one of them while lots of enemies are nearby can result in a gratifying explosion that removes all adjacent threats. The town is full of explorable buildings, around many of which revolve the Postal Dude's 'chores,' and all of which have their own location-specific action and sight-gags in the vein of the classic Duke Nukem.
