Hair raising

Since Reservoir Dogs was unleashed to audiences worldwide in 1992, director Quentin Tarantino has developed a genre all of his own. The filmmaker's latest, Inglorious Basterds, has apparently influenced game developers at Belarus-based Apalon. The film's brutal, wartime men-on-a-mission theme can be glimpsed in 100 Nazi Scalps, an arcade-style game for Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch. A YouTube search of the title leads to a video preview, showing an American soldier gunning down Nazi troops and using a knife, a-la Basterds, to get their scalps, which score points in gameplay. It sells for 99 US cents at the online App Store.
