Let's drop by and give another recommendation...
Postal 2
Again, another cult game, but this one is really well known in that this is the game people will often think of when they hear Postal. It marks the most unique game in the series, with an open world and a first person perspective instead of the first and third game's linear progression and different camera angles. Consequently, it becomes the most enjoyable. It's a sort-of "Grand Theft South Park": an open world that opens up as the player progresses, and humor that pokes fun at modern society, especially those against violence in video games. This is even further shown by the gameplay. Postal 2 touts that the player can complete the game without violence, and this is true. But the game is more fun when it gets violent, and the violence is wild and unique. Robbing banks, urinating to dose fires, and using cats as silencers are normal fare in Postal 2, and it is often hilarious. There is a free demo, giving a small part of the Monday level. So try it, and if you find yourself laughing, don't hesitate and buy Postal 2.
That being said, the Apocalypse Weekend expansion is slightly lame, mostly due to its change into a linear shooter. If you want more Postal 2 content on Steam, use the Workshop or buy the excellent Paradise Lost expansion.
