Not quite. Lua isn't a good example because it's a register based runtime designed to be very small footprint. Also most of the games you listed are PC.
Civ 4 uses python but it targets PC too. Consoles have very different and strict set of rules. We tried this last year, while we could get a bunch of CLR languages to do basic things, they were failure from practical use POV. Yes it's possible to use embedded lisp as a scripting DSL on console, GOAL on playstation is such an example. But again, it was designed from ground up to do this. If that's what you want to do, you'd have better luck starting with ecl(embedded common lisp). We've gotten that to work on iPhone even.
