The dead island one is a classic for me and what I find funny is Jason's chainsaw is the best weapon against him

In Torchlight 2, there are 2 easter eggs that reference 2 different movies. The first one can be found early on and is located in the Temple Steppes area. You can find a lantern that takes you to Plunder Cove, where you can fight a boss named One-Eyed Willie on a pirate ship. A reference to The Goonies. The second reference is in another area called the Frosted Hills, there you can find another area called Slavers Stockade. In one of the cells, you can find a bottle of lotion (stay with me here). Further on I'm Slavers Stockade, you can find a bucket in which you place the lotion. You can then kill a skeleton which will drop a helmet referencing Buffalo Bill from The Silence of the Lambs.

Having just finished GTA 5 for the first time,i realized that the game takes a lot of influence from Heat and understandably so; the mission Blitz Play is a loveletter to the movie's opening armored car heist, and if you choose the right mask and haircut, you can make Trevor resemble Waingro from the movie. Michael also already resemble's Robert De Niro's Neil McCauley from the suits alone, but the customization options make the resemblance even stronger.

Norman Bates' house from Psycho is in Mafia 2. Kind of like the Home Alone Easter Egg, only you can't enter it. The Ghostbusters firehouse is in Mafia 2 and in Sony's Spider-Man. The Titanic is in Mafia 2, but that's more of a real world reference. But it's cool anyway.

Hey not sure if you discussed this, but in death stranding there is a memory chip you can find that unlocks a new trike, it has a upgraded battery and defensive abilities and you can still carry cargo and it also has some secret voice lines that sam says when he rides it, you find it in the central region so you will need to be a bit of hunting for it but the reward is totally worth it

I'm not sure if you've already got this easter egg in a different video, but in Ghostbusters the videogame if you go to the recording machine (I think it's on the second floor) in the Ghostbusters HQ and listen to the recorded messages, you might hear a message from a Professor Jones enquiring about the Virgo painting ending the message by saying "it belongs in a museum" which is a clear easter egg to Indiana Jones

Currently right now in OW2 there is a One Punch Man collab. It's not an Easter egg but Doomfist an antagonist in OW2 is dressed as the local super hero saitama as he will perform saitamas training. 100 push ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and run in a 10km run before coming back and sleeping just to do it all again the next day just like in the anime. It's a very nice detail as he will actually do all the sit ups, push ups and squats 100 times before moving on.

This isn't a movie reference but I found out in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, if you get your bullets down to either one or two bullets and you inspect your weapon. If there's two bullets, you'll see one bullet in the gun and one in the mag, and if you check with one bullet, there'd be one in the gun and nothing in the mag. Not sure why you'd inspect during that part but it's pretty cool.
