I didn't include a PC section cuz it would probably be longer than all of the other consoles combined haha. But If everybody really wants I guess I could add one.

Nah i understand why you didnt :P Was just tossing in a suggestion.

Im sorry to bring this up again though but i just have to say my oppinion.

AC is definitely not an RPG, yes it contains a few limited elements that is often used in RPG's but its in NO way a RPG.
Saying its a RPG because you take on the role of a fictional character would label almost every game out there an RPG.

What defines it is that you have a character that you develop as you play,(usually trough leveling) this includes everything from skillset, to appearance and personality.

Example: in AC you arent allowed to kill civilians or friendlies as this will eventually desync you. and because of this alone you can say that this game is somewhat predefined in how you are supposed to play it and is as such not a true RPG.

Also, Somewhere it was said that you wouldnt give up on calling it an RPG before you saw a quote that is wasnt one.
1st. It usually isnt mentioned that it isnt anywhere because it is a given.
2nd. And to fullfill your criteria:

Btw, Assassin's Creed is NOT an RPG.

Borderlands, Its a full fledged RPG, with mostly shooter elements. Wouldnt realy reccommend it though, as the only thing that got me pumped up was the intro. :P

See, most people consider borderlands to be primarily a shooter. When I want an RPG i'm more looking for a typical rpg. If I wanted to play a shooter though, I'd look at Borderlands. If somebody said "whats a good RPG" I wouldn't ever say borderlands, even if it IS a good game (i havent played it)

Wasn't Baldur's Gate 2 also for PS2?

edit: "Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance/Dark Alliance 2" is what I am thinking of, which apparently is not the same as Baldur's Gate 2. That makes sense... anyway, this game was super fun : D
