Video Game Rap track suggestions

I just got Lil Flip's "Game Over" after hearing it on the radio so much. This shit is great, and I want to find other (preferably) recent hip hop productions like this that use video game samples. Also, are any of the other Nick "Fury"-produced tracks similar to this one?

Super Brooklyn by the Cocoa Brovas uses the Mario theme.

This isn't recent at all, but "Mac Man" by Beanie Sigel kicks ass.

"Diplo Rhythm" by Diplo - not exactly hip hop but samples liberally from Ninja Gaiden.

There was a track that sampled the original Mario Brothers/Donkey Kong music, to great effect, but I have no idea what it was called. Help anyone?

alright so far of the suggestions above I've found
Cocoa Brovaz Super Brooklyn: Yeaahhh! This is what I'm looking for, samples ripped straight from the game
Beanie Sigel Mac Man: Fuck Yeahhh! The beat on this one is nice
Willenium Smith Human Video Game: Hmm, pretty decent but not enough video game sounds
Nextmen High Score: Pretty cool
Saafir Smart Bomb: This one and the Beanie Sigel are my favorites so far. This guy gets extra pts. for using Asteroids.
Put Your Quarter Up: It doesn't reference a specific game really and it's got those MC voices like Paul Barman that make me cringe.

Disappointed that I couldn't find Diplo Rhythm but I think their album drops soon so maybe it will pop up then. (Part of the problem is that I'm using Limewire).

I did come across a Vybz Cartel track called "Mi Fi A Dweet" which has some little video game sounds in it I think. If anyone knows of any dancehall tracks that use video game samples, I'd like to get those as well.

bonus points if you can find a hip hop track with the altered beast "riiiiiise from your grave!" sample.
Mr. Bungle doesn't count.

Beastie Boys - 'Unite'
DJ Shadow + Divine Styler - 'Divine Intervention'
cLOUDDEAD - 'JimmyBreeze Part Two' (I believe)

Not exactly from a video game, but you NEED to hear Grandmaster Flash's "Scorpio". The coolest digital robot rap song EVER.

I don't know if the music is sampled from a game (sounds like it could be), but Protoculture by Del is the greatest gaming homage I've ever heard. It's like my life around 1999.
