You can create just about any piece of software you like with Ruby.  Ruby
is better suited for some things than others, however.  For instance,
writing an operating system in Ruby might be a bit challenging
(especially since I'm not sure how practical it is to embed a Ruby
interpreter in your bootloader).

So . . . yes, you absolutely can write games in Ruby.  I'm not a game
programmer myself, however, so it's a little outside my range of
expertise.
