Hmmm...it sounds kind of like A Nightmare on Elm Street 6. Freddy is controlling a kid in old school video game fashion.

The intestines on the wall thing is throwing me. I thought it might have been Stay Alive (because of the game theme) but I just watched that the other day and there was nothing in there that matched your description.

Maybe Silent Hill? (although she wasn't trapped in a game but it was based on a game and if my memory serves there were some organic gloop in various scenes)

Hope that helps.

Do you remember anything else? You said it's been a long time, do you have an idea how long?

Hmm, I don't think it would be either of those. From what I think I remember the vibe it had was much of like eXsiteZ meets Cube. Sorta sci-fi, thriller, indie rather than straight up horror. Like I said I could have sworn that it was from eXsistenZ, but the movie proved me wrong on that one.

I'm pretty sure I saw the scene probably about 5-6 years the ago, but I think the movie was a lot older than that. Maybe late 80's early 90's ish.

This is a wild guess, but maybe it was Videodrome?  Haven't seen it myself in decades, so I don't remember the specific image you're describing, but - it's an '80's Cronenberg with lots of techno-fleshy images and other similarities to existenz, so maybe that's why you thought it was the latter?

Actually, that description reminds me a lot of the film 1408 (totally underrated, btw). It has nothing to do with a game, but it definitely has a "destroyed room" theme.

Maybe Virtuosity, with Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe? Has a virtual-reality thing going on, and it's from the mid-'90s.

I was going to suggest Videodrome as well.
From what I remember there were no intestines on the walls, but the memory has a way of twisting over time...
