* ''[[Dead Space 2]]'' makes you use whole bodies... or at least chunks of them.
* [[Subverted Trope]] in ''[[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]]'': it's stated up front that the retinal scans can't detect dead eyes, so the player has to drag the struggling guard to the scanner.
** Used in a more comprehensive way with the "nuclear football" that the president must have access to to activate a nuclear weapon. Inside the briefcase is a complex device that constantly monitors the president's, well, ''everything,'' so if he dies or is in an altered state of consciousness, no nukes can be activated.
** Played straight in ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]'', Old Snake had to take a dead soldier's gun. Since the gun only reacts to the soldier's nanomachines, Snake had to bleed the soldier's out over the gun so he can use it.
* Likewise in ''[[Splinter Cell]]'', though you need a breathing, conscious person for the retinal scanner, as the scanners can tell if they're living or dead.
* Used straight in ''[[Fallout 2]]'' in an abandoned Military Base. Retinal scanners operating locks in various sections of the base require specific eyes to unlock.
