Simon Peg plays Resident Evil 2 and Tomb Raider in Spaced The main guy in Wire in the Blood also plays Tomb Raider Bill in Murder Party, who dresses up as a Baseball Fury from Warriors, spends most of the movie playing a PSP.
Don't know if this has been posted yet or not, but I am watching Community right now and I'm pretty sure Troy and Pierce were playing Modnation Racers. I do not have a screenshot, unfortunately, but it is in the episode that aired April 22nd about chicken fingers lol.
Suburban Commando: Hulk Hogan's character goes to an arcade and plays Afterburner, though the movie refers it to something else. The Nostalgia Critic points this out. (around 0:55) You can also see some other games in the background.
"Where is the Love?" music video: Two kids are seen "playing" Postal II on a TV. (1:36) Additionally, there is a promotional poster for GTA: Vice City. (0:16)
The Surreal Life: Da Brat is seen playing Burnout 3 in the first episode.
"Hella Good" music video- A couple band members are seen playing what looks like Jet Set Radio Future. (2:34)
I don't think this one has been posted yet. A Computer Space arcade cabinet gets some use in the movie Soylent Green. The body of the cabinet that appears in the movie was painted a custom white:
Jaws: Killer Shark. Know I've seen Battlezone, Wizard of Wor in a film but can't remember which. Maybe Gorf, too. And that helicopter game that's a bit like Outrun / Hang On but I can't remember the name of it.
Oh, and of course House of the Dead in Uwe Bol's House of the Dead.
In Brooklen's Fines a bunch of people are playing GTA I think it was San Andreas. Also in the start of the movie you can see the Rockstar logo on one of the cars.
There's the intro to Wayne's world where Brian Doyle Murray plays the owner of a bunch of arcades. There were a bunch of games running behind him, and the only one I can recall is the original Sonic. I can't find any stills either.

Thats been covered in this thread already.
Its actually a point of interest for those in the Sonic community. The footage clearly shows UFO-like things flying around in Marble Zone, suggesting its some kind of alpha or beta version.
I don't feel like finding a screenshot of it, but in the Double Dragon movie, you can see a Double Dragon arcade machine in the background in one point.
In the (terrible) movie Stay Alive, a character mentions Fatal Frame near the beginning.
@dankempster: I never thought Shadow of the Colossus could bring more emotion then it already did after playing it. Then I saw that movie, GREAT movie.
"Anachronisms: Specialist Eldridge plays Gears of War (2006) on an Xbox 360 when Colonel Cambridge enters the room to counsel him. The Xbox 360 was first released 2005; Gears of War debuted in November 2006. Yet the setting is Baghdad in 2004." - IMDB
I'm watching Wild Things: Foursome (don't ask) and saw them playing some fake ass Wii. The controllers look really wide and in some kind of knock off zapper. Plus there were supposedly two of them playing and only one character and crosshair on screen. Does anybody know if the game they were "playing" is real?
In Kidulthood they play Fifa 06 and one of them is pretending to play a hard game but I don't know what controller he's using, can anybody tell me? its in the 3rd picture.
South Park has quite a few references. In the episode "The Ungroundable", all the kids are playing Call of Duty: World at War in computer class (a team death match in the castle map). They're also all playing World of Warcraft in the episode "Make Love Not Warcraft" and Cartmen mentions that he wants to play Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars in an episode about debt, I don't remember the name of it though.
I started an account just so I could represent for one of the greatest achievements in human civilization, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. They were playing NARC in that creepy Foot Clan recruitment center. SPIN THAT WHEEL
Alvin and The Chipmunks 2 they guy is constantly seen using a 360 with a headset and the controller aint on, i think he uses a handheld too. ds maybe ?
In last week's Psych episode "Not so close...Encounters," two characters are seen playing the Halo Reach beta toward the end of the episode for about 3 seconds. Then they cut to their faces and one of them completely ruins it by screaming "Activate the Pillar of Autumn!" which makes no sense in the Reach beta context. In addition, posters of Fable 2 and Halo 3: ODST can be seen in various parts of the episode.
Wow, I'm surprised no one mentioned this but I'll be happy to add a new one to the list!
In one early episode of Smallville with Red Kryptonite, Tom Welling who plays Clark Kent/Superman is seen playing a football game (Madden I assume) on . . . . . GAMECUBE! Actually thinking back, it MAY be the season closer or opener for season 2 or 3.... I'd have to check though. I could possibly get screencaps as I have all the seasons. I remember being so amazed that he was actually playing GameCube and having more respect for the show after that. As GameCube was my Nintendo fanboy console of choice. :P
And then in the 12th episode of Season 9 entitled “Warrior”, you can see "Project NATAL" (before it was renamed Kinect) being played!
Outside of this, Kristen Kruek (Lana Lang in Smallville) starred as Chun-Li in Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li although I do not recall if the game is played or shown anywhere in the movie. But I'd imagine it is. I do own the movie on Blu-ray but I don't own a PS3 or Blu-ray player (I was sent the movie on both DVD and Blu-ray for free to review :P And traded the DVD to someone on GameTZ . . . . for CDs :P)
In Scott Pilgrim vs The World, one of the characters is playing Zelda on a Nintendo DS. And you could hear the Zelda theme throughout the film as well.
Obviously I won't have a screenshot of that yet. But you should see the movie.
