I find the definition to be debatable ("1. (of a creative work) referring to itself or to the conventions of its genre; self-referential."), but I would consider the Book of Unwritten Tales to be fairly meta in its dialogue and humor.
It spends a considerable amount of time making fun of computer games and the things most computer game players would find interesting. (RPGs, MMOs, star wars, etc.)
I'm also a big fan of games within games. (which could be an acceptable definition of meta). Some of those are:
Spheda (golf) and fishing in Dark Cloud 2. (fairly robust feature sets as well).
Doom 3 lets you play an arcade game within the game (single clicking, not fun for long).
From what I understand some games let you play entire games from within them (day of the tentacle)
... sort of like world of world of warcraft... have a feeling this will happen ;) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rw8gE3lnpLQ)
