The PS3 doesn’t have any RPG’s. The Wii and the Xbox don’t have many either, but the PS3 is truly lacking in traditional RPGS. Even though there are tons of RPG’s in the tube, none of them are here yet. The only RPG that we do have is White Knight Chronicles, and that is over in Japan.

Anyone who owned a Playstation probably had one of its classic Resident Evil titles. And even if you didn’t, you at least know of them. RE is a classically popular survival horror gaming series, having multiple titles, most of them being on the Playstation consoles, which is also the reason I never played many because my Playstation experience was short lived as every Playstation I ever bought overheated (coughcrappysystemsftwcough).
