For the most part, yes. Lives add no value to most games. They exist to make you replay more of the game than you want to and artificially extend game length. I think there could be slight exceptions if the lives mechanic is used cleverly, like a rogue-like game may award you extra "lives" to let you not fall into permadeath when you die, but as a general rule, they suck.
