Actually, I think the scripting engines that a lot of these games use
are woefully inadequate (with respect to speed as well as functionality, 
of course). Python could really show some of them up. I'd bet a lot
of them could have less C/C++ than they have, if they had used a decent
high-level language (Python!). And don't forget the God-send to the
Python game-developer community, Psyco. :-)

This is mainly because they're all basically one-offs, made specifically
for the game, and  haven't been optimized and contributed to by a
large community like Python has.
