Reservoir Dogs is about a gang of six thugs, brought together to carry out an armed robbery on a diamond store, their identities are closely guarded, masked behind colored codenames (Mr. Blonde, Mr. White, Mr. Pink, etc.).

"Keeping intact all the signature scenes, style, and chronology of Quentin Tarantino's groundbreaking script, Reservoir Dogs is an intense action shooter which allows the player to experience all the scenes only talked about in the film like the diamond heist, the stashing of the diamonds, and the abduction of Marvin Nash as well as revealing for the first time the fate of Mr. Pink.

"Eidos is proud to bring one of the most esteemed and influential films of all time to the video game consoles and PC," said Kevin Gill, US Marketing Manager. "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 essential to the main plot."

Lionsgate will release the Reservoir Dogs 15th Anniversary Edition DVD street day and date with the Reservoir Dogs video game. Included on the DVD are never-before-seen extra features and one-of-a-kind collectible packaging. The DVD also features promotions for the video game both on the disc and in the packaging.

"Movie-based video games centered on compelling content and solid gameplay have a proven history of having a highly successful run at retail," said Bob Lindsey, VP of sales and marketing, Eidos. "With the film's extremely loyal fan base and the concurrent release of Reservoir Dogs 15th Anniversary Edition DVD, the Reservoir Dogs video game deserves a home on the crime-film fan's shelf."

Reservoir Dogs is based on the 1992 Quentin Tarantino-directed classic movie about five total strangers who are brought together to carry out a diamond heist. In the video game release, players get to fill the shoes of each iconic character in the film as they relive the Reservoir Dogs experience complete with the movie's trademark style and wit.
