Jak and Daxter uses a Lisp variant. Ratchet and Clank uses the same
engine so I'd expect this to be the same. ND mentioned that they had
problems using it because noone knows Lisp in games (at GDC 2003).

Of games I've come across, Quake and Neverwinter Nights (Bioware) use
C/Small like syntax.

Wow, it seems people do write games in Perl!! (no gfx!)
