If we’re including TV shows, then the obligatory Resident Evil 2 in Spaced, which also uses music from it:
Also, Shaun of the Dead 2 has Timesplitters 2? I’ve never played it, I just know:
PLAYER 2 HAS ENTERED THE GAME.
Haven’t you got work?
PLAYER 2 HAS LEFT THE GAME.

A funny thing about reign over me is that the process of playing shadow of colossus is presented with more realism than things like going to jail, being mentally ill or having a job. They spend a ridiculous amount of time talking about it or playing it

There are two movies that only exist as one scene in my memory. In one, a guy explains the state of his game of NES TMNT. He mentions having found a scroll. I think he was in a hotel room, maybe under witness protection or doing a stakeout or something? It was an inappropriate situation to be gaming.
In another, someone asks what the other person is playing, and the guy just very earnestly says “Kabuki Quantum Fighter”.
