I can think of three music videos that were made to look like computer or video games (or at least cheap and pixelated) off of the top of my head. Does anyone know of any more like these? Suffice it to say that this doesn't seem to be an overly-exploited music video cliché...yet.

Junior Senior - "Move Your Feet"

Xiu Xiu - "Boy Soprano"

Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Californication"

Its not recent but wasn't "Money for nothing" by Dire Straights or whatever their name is kinda supposed to look like a 3d type game (also the weird al parody/version of that song had a video like it too hehe) dunno if that helped but was the only one i could think of right away hehe

I can't believe I forgot that one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAD6Obi7Cag). Though I'm not really sure if they intended the computer animated portions of the video to look like that or were simply limited by the technology in 1985.

There is mention in the Wikipedia entry for Dire Straits' "Money For Nothing" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_for_nothing) that the video for that song was actually the second CGI video ever aired by MTV. They neglect to mention the title of the first.
