Yeah Metal Gear Solid really takes this. In addition to the great presentation of it all, you have "Fission Mailed" in MGS2 and Time Paradox in MGS3.

The way it was done in MGS4 is enough to give you a heart attack - literally seeing someone's life flashing before their eyes, with some horrifying stuff like "Snake!? YOU CAN'T DIE!!!! Snake!! SNAAAAKE!!!"
