Get back to the roots of competitive gaming: 2d Fighters! Both the Xbox 360 and the PS3 have a good selection of pants jizzingly good titles right now too (assuming you're into the genre). There's been a nice revival over the past couple of years, so companies like Capcom, SNK, and Arc System Works are motivated to produce some quality goods.

Actually the main reason I finally decided to shell out the dough for a PS3 was SFIV and the new MvC. Fighting games and bullet hell shooters are my favorite genres.

Oh, that just warms my heart to hear that. Totally snag SSF4 and MvC3. I picked them both up on release day and no regrets whatsoever. Just check out the GameSpot scores. If you're into 2d fighters, and Capcom specifically, these will both make you happy.
Also, consider BlazBlue: Continuum Shift. Very similar in play style to the MvC series, but it's one on one. If you're familiar with Guilty Gear, this is the successor to that series, made by the same developers. I give these guys my money, because the Guilty Gear series was a big help keeping the genre alive during the dead years.
