I assume the game a client server architecture so that different people can play together. If the game runs in the browser you do not need pygame. If the game does not run in the browser you do not need web2py/pyjamas.
If the client needs fast asynchronous communications with server (for example to receive continuous streaming audio), you need twisted. If your game runs in the browser you are much better off using Flash (pyAMF)+web2py, else use Pygame+twisted.
