   Postal III seems to be missing from the list of games to be shown by Akella at next week's Leipzig GC, but that doesn't stop the Russians from sending us a new communique regarding Running With Scissors' sequel - which is surely headed for another controversy, much like the rest of the decade-old series. Unfortunately, we still don't get to see it in motion, but we do have some fresh images in our local gallery, showing the developers' moderate skill in using the Source engine, licensed from Valve.

   The developers, by the way, are now revealed to be a group of three studios, working together despite the linguistic and geographical barriers that separates them: Running With Scissors from Arizona, and Akella with TM Studios from Moscow. Along with this bit of info, the official website opened by Akella also offers the following Postal III synopsis:
"Once again being cast as a nameless Postal Dude, the player will explore the fictional city of Catharsis, AZ. Doing odd jobs, as well as meeting (and quite possibly confronting) city's numerous and varied inhabitants such as Eco-Terrorists, Uncle Dave's Zealot Nuns, Taliban and much more, player will be able to complete the game in one of the three possible ways: from law-obedient Good to a violence-ridden Insane. Postal Dude's arsenal will be enhanced with a number of unique weapons such as Harnessed Badger Saw, Chain Scythe and many more, to be disclosed later. Reactive environment, robust physics engine, complex NPC AI and number of never-before-seen gameplay elements make Postal III a true next generation sequel to a cult videogame franchise.

Postal III is not intended for Politicians, your mom, your little sister, or the priest molesting her. It is a game about free will. Violence begets violence and the choice is yours."    The release of Postal III remains set for the end of 2008, on the PC and Xbox 360.
