Got NiGHTS as a gift. Found the gameplay to be unenticing and not nearly as fun as you'd think. Despite wanting to like it, I never played it and ultimately sold it.
I'd pass, but if you resell it (for $4) it's the price of a rental... Some places allow you to return used games for a nearly full refund within a week too.
House of the Dead is fun. It's a direct arcade port so you'll end up blasting through the same thing over and over always trying to get a little further this time. If that's okay with you then go ahead. It always good for short bursts of fun.
