Buy some good books. If you like Zombie stuff, get Z.A. Recht's "Plague of the dead" and its recently released sequel "Thunder and Ashes". They'd make a great movie and probably even a nice game.
Another nice read are "The Traveler" and its sequel "The Dark River" by John Twelve Hawks.
Of course, if you haven't read it, yet, get yourself a copy of "The Godfather" by Mario Puzo.
Or the Musketeer Trilogy by Alexandre Dumas. Or, or, or...
You could also buy some GOOD wine and cook for your friends. With that budget, a spanish Faustino I would be a good start - I like Rioja wines. ;-)
Games: I cannot recommend anything for the Wii, because I don't have one. "Timshift" was a good title for the Xbox 360 - not outstanding, but good, especially in the second half, which most of the people who gave it bad or mediocre criticisms obviously have not even played.
"Turning Point" had very disappointing graphics for a 2008 release, so I can only recommend that when you like that very specific theme for a game.
Here's a new thought: Buy a game from a fellow Blitzer! "Tank Universal", "Tecno - The Base" and "Eschalon: Book I" come immediately to my mind. Or buy Grey Alien's Game Framework. Or PhysLite. Or donate something to one of the projects.
Or just leave the money on your savings account until you really know what you want and need.
