After some deliberation with self in that WiiWare thread (sorry, didn't know staff was trying to clean up individual recommendation threads), I'm almost 100% convinced that of the 1200 point games I can get, I should get Sin & Punishment over Cave Story. Objections?

None, since Sin & Punishment is the second greatest Rail Shooter ever, and Cave Story is free on the PC.
Alright, I am asking if I should use my GameStop gift card towards either Kingdom Hearts or Monster Hunter 3 (Tri) Classic Controller Pro bundle.
What do you think I should do?

I'd go with Monster Hunter. That might be mostly because I lost interest in KH after the first game...I'd go into a diatribe but it would involve many terms insulting those obsessed with Japanese culture.

Hey, guys, I'm thinking about getting Split/Second for PC. It's $30 on Amazon, but if I do get it I'll have to wait a good few weeks until I am able to get SMG2. Any objections?
Watched a reiew of Split/Second, it sounds like it would be a good rental, but all of the events are scripted and become kind of boring after a little while. Plus it was also compared to being a game full of blue shells. Some of the events were well thought out, but some you just can`t avoid and feel a little cheap.

Get Fire Emblem, of course. It's a very good game for beginners to the series since it's much more forgiving and gives you generic characters that you're expected to use as sacrifices, so you actually afford to take chances, I always hated Fire Emblem because they always have you out numbered 5 to 1 and you can rarely afford to let anyone die, especially if you don't want to be screwed in the later missions. At least in Shadow Dragon you don't have to restart every time someone dies (unless it's someone vitally important).
The only problems with it are that the story isn't very good and the characters aren't that interesting, since it's a remake of the NES original, which didn't have much of a story at all and was very close to Famicom Wars, which is what the whole series was based on. Since you're a fan of the genre, and I'm assuming you're interested in it for the gameplay, those problems shouldn't affect you. Just skip the crumby dialogue and you'll be fine.
I have been recommended by my only Nerd friend that I would Love Kingdom Hearts. He told me though that I need to play the first since I will be completely lost if I go ahead and play 2. I want both of these games, but I can't decide which to get first!
Also, I am thinking about getting an Xbox 360 Go Pro sometime, probably this Christmas hopefully. I am wondering though if I will get any enjoyment out of it, seeing as though I am not allowed to play M-rated games. I have already decided if I do, I am going to get Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and Skate 2, but is there anything else I would like?
Here are some rules to go by: No higher rating than Teen. No sexual content or references (Revealing women, jokes, etc.) Nothing too scary or extremely gory.

Get Kingdom Hearts 1. The story in Kingdom Hearts 2 is hard enough to follow as is. You'd be completely lost if you played it before Kingdom Hearts 1. In fact, make sure you get RE: Chain of Memories, too. It connects the stories of the first two games.

Thank you mickeymac. I have finally made a decision and now have 30 dollars reserved for it till sunday! Also, when you say that there are usually 5 to 1, other Fire Emblem games don't allow you to recruit soldiers, or just not as much?

Yes. Go with what mickey mac says. The story would be completely wierd if you don't start with the first one. (i never finished that one and got the second from a shipping place that screwed up the order)
OMG Yes! Bejeweled 2 is coming to WiiWare and Kirby Super Star is out!
Which I am asking this: if Bejeweled 2 is only 500 Wii points (hopefully), do you think that along with Kirby Super Star is a good combination? I don't know why I am asking this qustion! I have an amazing feeling about this and I will wait until Bejeweled 2 is released! WAHOO!

...I'm pretty sure Monster Hunters Tri came out weeks ago. Including the bundle. Out of the three, I'd suggest Metroid Other M, if only because High Voltage has yet to make a game that has ever risen above "decent", and are generally outclassed by games that came out 10+ years ago. You're better off waiting until it comes out before you and hear what people say about The Conduit 2 before you decide whether or not you want to spend $50 on it. Granted, I could say that about all of these. I don't think it's a good idea to preorder something unless you're absolutely sure you're gonna love it, and/or it's gonna be rare, and/or it has a really good bonus. If you're not sure, don't bother. Better safe than sorry. If the Monster Hunters Tri bundle is still good, I'd say go with that, since even if it's the the greatest game in the world, you'll get something good out of it.
Alright guy's, out of these, which would you choose?:
Used copy of Monster Hunter Tri with a Classic Controller Pro purchased with it: Price: $59.24
Used copy of Kingdom Hearts: Price: $18.31
Used copy of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (PS2) Price: $21.54
Might I also add, you are free to recommend me games as well.
I think I am looking for a game that is longer than other games and has a difficulty that is just right.
The rules to go by are the usual: No sexual references (Jokes and revealing women also qualify for this). No crass language. Nothing too extremely like an anime. Nothing too scary or extremely gory.
I hope you have fun!
