Quentin Tarantino's cult hit Reservoir Dogs is to be made into a computer game for the Xbox, PlayStation 2 and PC.

The game will follow the original plot of the film, following the progress of a diamond heist and enabling the player to take on each of the five iconic Reservoir Dogs characters.

Eidos US Marketing Manager Kevin Gill commented: "We are proud to reflect one of the most esteemed and duplicated directorial film debuts of all time in a gaming format."

He added, "Gaming and movie fans alike will have the unprecedented opportunity to play through the events of the movie as well as experiencing parts of the movie that happened off screen but are tangential to the main plot."

The game, which will also feature the full soundtrack from the movie, is set to be released this autumn.
