WoW's user interface is LUA. Never worked with it though.

Crysis uses LUA.

I'm not very good at LUA, but I have used it to modify a few scripts in Crysis.

It is also used in tools such as Nmap, Wireshark, and Snort. I actually plan on integrating into a simulation I develop at work. Should be pretty fun to work on.

Lua was designed to be a lightweight, embeddable scripting language. As a result it's used in a lot of products, such as games where it's used for scripting.
