I also watched the episode. If memory serves, one game was created years before 9/11 where two important skyscrapers built together were blown up by projectiles. I forget the rest, though.
It's easy to think that games could predict future occurrences. After all, video games are in the top 5 for where ideas happen (well they adopt the ideas from writers, but bleh). As Pang said, the video games could likely not predict the events fully. The only thing we saw from above was the result that was similar, but the causes were from completely different situations.
However, that Star Trek thing is spooky. They even predicted the use of a shoddy product D:

If games could predict the future not all games could do it.For example if fallout came true many other games couldn't come true.There also several games with alien species but not all of them could come true.

As I somehow feel you'll agree, it doesn't take a genius to think of the possibility of doing so. Indeed, various secret services and the likes seem to have seriously considered the possibility for years.
I don't really think games COULD predict the future but they might influence it. AFAIK ( as far as I know for those who don't know ) I've heard that BF3 ( or COD? ) series were banned in a country because they were showing constant attacks/assaults on terrorist groups.
Maybe those countries could see this as an insult and a reason for which to start a war. Just saying.
