Concerning FPS games there is "BattleField 2" (from Electronic Arts) which
use Python.
Firts "news" a year ago:

*"""In an interview with Lars Gustavsson of
DICE<http://www.fz.se/artiklar/article.php?id=786>,
it was mentioned that Battlefield 2's modding tools are going to be
delivered with the game, and that the tools are the same ones used to
develop the game. The modding language in use is Python, and will support
all aspects of the language."""*

and now ...  :)

*"""Unlock Special Weapons (Version 1.0.0 only)*
Locate the file "unlocks.py" located in <Drive Letter>Program Files\EA
GAMES\Battlefield 2\python\bf2\stats (or whereever you installed Battlefield
2, in the folders \python\bf2\stats), and open "unlocks.py" with Notepad.
...
