Which games should I buy?

Alright, now I'm sure everyone has heard this question numerous times and you're all probably sick of hearing it but I'm having a problem deciding what game I want to purchase. I've come upon a large amount of money as a gift from both of my aunts and my parents (I'm talking a cumulative amount of about $700 here) and probably going to put most of it in a savings or checking account. However, I also got a $100 Amazon gift card that I want to use immediately.
With gaming being my main hobby, my first thought was to go on Amazon and look some new releases and see what I was most interested in. This led me to the dilemma I am in now. I have absolutely no idea which game I want to buy. I thought you kind folks here at GiantBomb would be willing to help me out here. Below I have made a list of the games I've considered and why I might buy them or might not.
Halo: Reach
This was the first game that came to mind because of all the press it's been getting and I've also given the beta a few runs to see what it was like. I'm getting a little tired of Halo though. I own every game with Halo in the title that has been released and would really like to try something new. It would take a lot of convincing for me to get this one.
Red Dead Redemption
I've heard tons of people on the forums saying they were having a blast with this game and after reading a piece in my GameInformer about it, it really piqued my interest. I've never really played a Western game before and this seems to be a GTA type deal and I love the GTA series. This remains a strong possibility.
Heavy Rain
Lately I've been feeling like it's past time to start giving my PS3 more love. Heavy Rain is a game that has interested me ever since it was in development stage and I really like how different it is from all the games being released nowadays.
God of War III
I'm a huge God of War fan but I'm hearing mixed opinions on God of War III. That is, whenever I actually do listen to any talk concerning the game. I've completely ignored everything because I want to go into the game knowing very little about how it will play out.
Gears of War III
This one doesn't release in awhile but I figured I could pre-order it or something and then wait for it to release. I liked both of the previous games and I really want to see what happens in this one. I really like the multi-player too. I read a piece about it in GameInformer recently and thought it sounded really awesome.
So those are the games I'm looking the most at so far. You definitely don't have to suggest one of those four however. I heard about Call of Duty: Black Ops but I definitely won't be spending money on that. Didn't like Modern Warfare 2 all that much. Overall, I'm looking for a different experience that is rare in this age of gaming. You can also suggest old games that you loved that I may not have played yet.
Thanks I'll see you fools later.
