From Wired: Mom's day gifts for geek gamer moms

From our very advanced friends at Wired:

"In case Hallmark's marketing juggernaut hasn't reached you, allow us at Game|Life to remind you that this Sunday is Mother's Day.

Sure, you could buy Mom dinner or send her flowers, but we can't think of a better way to say 'thanks for washing my underpants for all those years' than to give the gift of games.

Times are changing, and your mom might be a better gamer than even you realize. Deciding which game is right for your mom can be tricky. Here are our recommendations."

Author Susan Arendt goes to recommend games for:

• the empty-nest mom (Harvest Moon DS Cute, Uno)
• the mom who's a little crazy (Portal, BioShock)
• the adventure-loving mom (Tomb Raider Legend, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune)
• the mom who likes to watch Bravo (Cooking Mama, Fashion Solitaire)
• the artistic mom (Echochrome, Okami)

So much better than a toaster.
