RWS, Inc., doing business as Running With Scissors, is an American video game developer based in Tucson, Arizona. The company is best known for their Postal series, which was publicly decried by Senator Joe Lieberman and other critics due to its extreme violence. Running With Scissors was founded in 1996, as a new company devoted to developing mature entertainment products. Some of the founding members were previously employed at Riedel Software Productions, which focused on developing children's games. Their first game, Postal, was released in 1997, and in April 2003, Running With Scissors released a sequel, Postal 2, featuring ex-child actor Gary Coleman. The game featured many jokes at Senator Lieberman's expense and also featured enemies modeled upon Osama bin Laden. In December 2011, Postal III, a sequel to Postal 2, was developed in cooperation with TrashMasters Studios and released by Akella. Upon release, the game faced mostly negative reviews from the press, and was distanced from by Running With Scissors.
