A friend at work had it on a laptop.  That is one sick and twisted game.  I'm going to hell just for looking at it.

Yeah, I've got that game.  It's oddly amusing.  I believe they were trying to make a game that is politically incorrect, and they have succeeded.  The game involves throwing severed cow heads infected with mad cow disease, dumping gasoline on people and igniting them, chopping people's heads off with a shovel and then kicking the head around like a soccer ball, and that's just the surface.  There's nothing socially redeeming in the game, and that's ok.  It's good for hours of mindless fun.

I play the first one all the time.  It has the graphic violence I sometimes need.[kill][heavy]

If you've got the hardware to run it, I suggest you get the second one.  It's a blast, and the developers did great work with the gasoline system.  I can pour intricate designs on the ground with gasoline, then go up high somewhere and throw a match and see a burning display of my art :)   Did I mention that Gary Coleman is also in the game?

I heard from a few friends that the game itself is crappy and boring once the "shock" wears off.

Sounds like the old video game "Custer's Last Stand" where a character with long blonde hair and mustache, with no pants and wearing just a Cavalry hat tried to catch and hump indian squaws. They just wrote the program to get recognition by pissing people off.
