Microforte (Melbourne, Australia) are building a game called Citizen Zero
around their BigWorld engine, a massively multiplayer RPG.  They're using
Python as the scripting language, it was quite impressive when I saw it run.
Of course, they didn't go into details about the performance issues of the
interpreter, and I'm sure the fact that it still isn't released after 3 or
so years of development has anything to do with Python's GC :-)
