Custom post content to display in a normal post? in WordPress

Is it possible to display custom post content in a normal WordPress post?

For example I have created a custom post type called Games Database, it is populated with game boxart, title, genre, platform, publisher, developer, review score and release date. Now when I create a new (normal) wordpress post I want to be able to select a game from a drop down menu that the post relates to, for instance if I’m writing a post about Mario Galaxy 2 I would want to select that game from my database and then when I view the post on the website I want to be able to see a widget display with all of the games details.

Is it possible to do this?

You could

add a metabox using add_meta_box() ^{Example on the bottom of that link}.
In your MetaBox callback you could add a Query like this one, but for posts
Then use the jQuery UI Autocomplete plugin that is shipped with WordPress like explained in that answer.

But you could as well use “Posts2Posts” which can be found

in the official repo on wp.org
or on GitHub where you’ll find extensive tutorials in the Wiki and help in the questions/issues list.
