How do you cite a video game?

MLA prefered.

[Commander Makara]

MLA citation is straightforward and follows a very typical typical format but no standards are designed for abstract works. The usual application is to substitute the title of the videogame, publisher and release/publication date.
Note, that Author depends on the circumstance. Is it a scripted line, in which case the script writer or responsible department lead (Story Director etc.).

Laidlaw. Half-Life. Isaac Klein On Resonance Cascde. Valve Software, 1997

For these reasons, it is best top cite documents where possible (i.e. original script texts etc.), rather than the product as a whole.

Sorry if I've misunderstood your question, but I hope this helps.
