The most memorable moms in games - for better and for worse

Moms in games are a rare species. They tend to die or disappear for dramatic effect in RPGs, while mainstream action games in the last decade or so preferred to focus on dads and father figures. Some moms managed to survive the narrative process and play memorable – if not always substantial – roles. Some leave their mark by starting wars and being generally terrible to their kids. Others give up everything so their children can pursue their dreams, and one or two are just there to give you a helping hand when you need it. These are the moms in games that we won’t forget any time soon.
