Today Chernobyl is used as a backdrop for a few different games, the most recent being Activisions Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, which uses Prypiat as a setting for missions and the disaster itself as part of the plot.
Terrorists break into the Chernobyl power plant and steal nuclear material to sell on the black market, as part of a two man sniper team, you must stop the man in charge of this operation.
Another game is STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl, which is based on the story of a second disaster at the nuclear plant which drastically changes the people and wild life in the surrounding area.
The game also makes references to terminology, and ideas from the science fiction book Roadside Picnic by Boris and Arkady Strugatsky and the 1979 film Stalker by Andrei Tarkovsky. Originally scientists working around the Chernobyl disaster also used some of the same terminology.
