Thank you guys for all your recommendations. For now I ordered RE: Dark side Chronicles & S&P 2. I may buy the rest later if I beat what I ordered and the prices are still sub-$15.
Why would you do that?

Huh, how did I manage to mess that up? lol. But you're right, but I can agree with getting only the PC version if you can get a decent pointer on PC, as others have mentioned in the thread.
Unfortunately for those who have touch screens, the game doesn't work too well with it, though, because you have to double tap in the same spot to shoot.
You made the correct choices. Have fun!
Sin & Punishment and the Resident Evil games are the most meaty and awesome ... but ...
You need House of the Dead Overkill.
Should be noted that this game features heavy swearing and some nsfw scenes.

Get House Of The Dead: Overkill as well in case you like B-movies and lots of (really funny) cursing.
It fucking uses the word fuck 189 f'cking times (f'cking world record).

One more question. Is the zapper worth it for such games? A good 3rd party zapper costs $5 from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003WOFXEY/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_smxbub038VXSF.

My vote goes to Sin and Punishment.
There's only one right way to play rail shooters on the Wii.

Oh, I somehow forgot Link's Crossbow Training. That game is pretty awesome, though short. It basically uses the Twilight Princess assets to make a lightgun shooter. There are also some 3rd person shooter levels where you move Link with the analog stick as you aim and shoot, and I must say Zelda works very well as a 3rd person shooter.
The best part is the Darknut boss (level 7-3 I believe) which is one of the 3rd person shooter levels. It's a fun boss that sometimes splits up into a barrage of bats, flying around the room as you shoot them, forming back together into a Darknut elsewhere.
The Wii had some crazy plastic peripherals that were for the most part nothing but decoration (remember those tennis rackets and golf clubs for Wii Sports?) but that gun peripheral is by far one the best of them. Makes light gun games so good. I haven't tried the official Wii Zapper, but I like how this gun shell doesn't mandate the use of the Nunchuck. It also has the expansion port on the bottom of the gun for if you do want to attach a Nunchuck.

Are these games really in the same genre as Sin & Punishment? I've never played any of the others, but I thought they were more like lightgun shooters.

The Nyko Wii Wand Action Pak surpasses it. You can swap the trigger between activating A&B and the trigger doesn't have to physically hit the button on the remote thanks to the Trans port tech. Apparently their nunchuck with trans port tech has force feedback.
A thing I notice is I find it harder to move as quickly but come to think of it, I never did change it from the default sensitivity (my comparison of an official remote might have been more sensitive).

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong!
This is the only way
Edit: They're called fucking Hand Cannons. How can you even consider anything else?
You can have the same experience with a razer hydra or, presumably, a sixense stem.
