A PS3 game which doesn't use the cell? Is that like those cars which don't use engines?
Sarcasm aside, realize that any game for any console has to use the CPU (in this case the Cell) in order to run. Whether they take advantage of the Cell's SPEs is another case, but they must at least use the PPE in order to use any feature of the PS3. The graphics card receives its work from the Cell, and the graphics card can only access 256 MB of RAM in the PS3 (the other half is for the Cell only).
Don't mix up the common meme that many ports don't use the SPEs (which is probably true) with the surely incorrect statement that you just wrote there.
