TekZero:
Although all 3 games you mention are classics and definately worth buying, in the situation you described I would suggest Crusader as it is the only game where you don't need to use brains and is the best stress relief.

Only thing is that the controls can feel a bit wonky at first, I recommend experimenting with the NumLock On/Off to see what you like best (I played with just the keyboard, no mouse).

TekZero: I've been a member of gog.com for quite some time now, but I rarely ever post. And, I'm sure you guys get this question often....but I want some advice as to which game to get tonight.

Anachronox
Crusader: No Remorse
Syndicate

Here's the details, my mother in law is coming over for the weekend. So, I'll have some time to play tonight and tomorrow night because I'd rather not be in some of those conversations with my wife. I don't really want to get invested in a long story, so I'm a little unsure about Anachronox, but I'll give it a go if it's worth it. Plus, I'm in a sci-fi mood tonight.

Out of those three games, the only one I played (when I was a kid and didn't really know how to ) was Syndicate.
Imo, buy whichever one of the following you haven't played:
1) Arcanum
2) Sacrifice
3) Giants: Citizen Katbuto

In that order. They all fit the bill, except maybe Arcanum which is definitely a long story, but you can put it down and come back later.
Yeah, I'm going to get all three eventually. The way I figure it, all three games are definitely worth the $6.
