Q. I don’t believe there is a standard Chicago/Turabian bibliographic citation format for video games yet. Is there?

A. CMOS and Turabian both contain examples of citations of video recordings that you can easily adapt to cite a video game. Please see CMOS 17.273 and Turabian, A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, 17.8.5. Here’s an example:

Cleese, John, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin. “Commentaries.” Disc 2. Monty Python and the Holy Grail, special ed. DVD. Directed by Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones. Culver City, CA: Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment, 2001.
