    Hi, I am looking for a certain Architecture but i can't name it, I need it for finding concept arts, buildings and environments.

    The style / architecture i am looking for is being used in a lot of games here are a few of them

    Metal Gear series,

    that's not an architectural style, more the kind of "game-developer tries to make something look sci-fi-cool".

    woud search for Oilrig, Industrial and another reference might be Half-Life (1), esp. Lambda Core (also look for the BMS remake of that part).

    The old, everything's built like it's based off a circuit board approach to architectural design.

    Though, Killzone 2's urban environments seem to be heavily based on Kowloon city. Particularly Kowloon Walled City. Google that shit and stand in awe.

    I would rather call it Alienesque or Ridleyscottism, but yeah, you'll probably get more hits with industrial sci-fi

    You might also wanna look for "Sid Mead", he did concepts for a lot of sci-fi movies.
