Hi Niko, If you mean the big commercial game industry that makes games for PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, Game Cube, PC, etc no those guys are in it for the money so they tend to go all the way with 3D graphics, sound, and of course 3D grids. Though the smaller game companies owned by home hobbiest game developers still write 2D game platformers all the time. Most games from your simple side-scroller to your 3D world use an array to store all the walls, grass, rivers, characters, position, etc. It is just easier that way.
