Metal Gear Solid is probably where I first came across them - Going into the vents a number of times to see Meryl changing positions (and losing her pants!) was hilarious to 15 year old me.

Borderlands 2 Minecraft Easter Egg was good because it was hard to find and they put a lot of effort into it.

Could say Metal Gear Solid 4, but that games is mostly easter eggs; the Psycho Mantis fight was particularly full of them where if you'd try to change controller as you did in MGS1 then you'd get a funny codec message.

But I'll go for this one. Found a minecraft reference for on pickaxe in Skyrim.
