* In ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'', one advertisement on the Citadel is for a film, ''Citadel'', based on the events of the first game. Unlike many of the above examples, there is no eeriness to this - most of the events of the first game are public knowledge. |

* In the ''[[Max Payne (series)|Max Payne]]'' series, ''Dick Justice'' is a [[Self-Parody]] of the first game. ''Address Unknown'' is eerily close enough Max Payne's story to feed his paranoia and guilt over the death of his wife; although he avoids making the association to himself in waking monologue, it does haunt his dreams. |

* ''[[Skullgirls]]'' is an odd one. There is an overall plot regarding the fighters competing for control of an [[Artifact of Doom]] - typical dark fantasy stuff - but given all the historical cinema references, it sometimes seems like these fights are being recorded on a movie set. The announcer talks like a director would, shouting, "Showtime!" when the fight starts, "CUT!" when a round ends, and likes like "That's a Wrap!" or "That's All Folks!" when the fight is decided, along with giving the fighters directions or pointers, encouraging them to make it flashier. |
