Overview
Description

POSTAL casts the user as a nameless surrogate character brought to the breaking point when his home in Paradise, Arizona is unjustly repossessed. Believing the repossession is part of a demonic conspiracy to dominate humanity, he unleashes relentless vengeance across 17 distinct locations. Navigate through a small town to a heavily guarded military complex using a third-person premeditated perspective. Employ strategic combat tactics against armed locals in this intense indie action horror experience developed by Running With Scissors.

Infamous puts you in the shoes of Cole MacGrath, a bike messenger turned conduit of electricity, as he battles a devastated city and its factions. The game blends high‑octane combat, platforming, and moral choices that shape the story and the world around you. Explore a living, reactive metropolis where every decision influences powers, allies, and the city’s fate. With a mix of shooter mechanics, free‑running traversal, and sandbox freedom, Infamous delivers an unforgettable single‑player adventure on PlayStation 3.
