Sure, but you can't program a whole engine in assembler, such a commercial release needs to be as portable as possible, aiming at the widest range of potential buyers. That's why there'r pieces of assemly code compiled into the final version of some softwares. And for games there are also some optimizations like hardware acceleration of graphics and sounds, especific instructions on a graphics card for optmizing graphic f/x, better algorithm implementations, and so on. There are a number of different ways to optmize a piece of code to make it run faster, while using all the potential and ease of a powerful, high level programming language such as C++! :) d_P
