my mom is always on my ass about my games. every single time i do anything wrong, she manages to bring up video games somehow. she treats it like a terminal disease with no cure that she just has to live with.

My mom hates anything with more buttons than her truck, so playing games isn't really an option with her.

My grandma, on the other hand, decided she wanted to try playing Ghost Recon with me once.
She decided it wasn't her thing after a couple of minutes, but I'll always remember her willingness to try.

My mother doesn't play many games, but she will kick my ass at any golf game ever.

Well my mum is one of the few mothers who bought a wii and still actually plays it. So yes, I guess that qualifies her liking games.

Though, she does dislike incredibly violent games but hey, to each their own, as the saying goes.

My mom doesn't like me playing games (at least the violent ones) but she knows I like them and she doesn't bother me about them. As long as I do my work first, she is fine with it, which is not a problem with me. She does like games like solitaire and bejeweled though.

My dad on the other hand, has little tolerance of my gaming.

Back in the day she wanted to play balloon fight and bubble bobble with me. I've been trying to get her to play portal now.

My mom loves games. She is almost finished with Dead Space 2 and has God of War: Ghost of Sparta coming in the mail. She was the one who got me into gaming.

My mom's a bibliophile, my dad can't stop watching TV, and I am addicted to video games. I guess we all have our escapist medium :)

she once said that, if it were up to her, games would be banned. recently she doesn't mind them so much but she doesn't have an interest in them

My mom plays Bingo and a couple other facebook games. As far as console/computer games, she doesn't like them but doesn't hate them either. She's always helped support my gaming habit and never thought it made me a killer or anything.

She owns a Wii and a Nintendo 64, which she plays regularly. She's finished the Banjo games and DK64 maybe twenty times each. and both Mario Galaxys at least three times with both characters. And she can hold her own playing Mario Kart online, or with us on the 64, when we're all home for Christmas or something.

We need a more neutral option. My mom likes playing Crystal Quest and Ikaruga, but she hates Dead Space 2.

I know my mom used to play them when she was in her 20's, but she doesn't care for them anymore. She also doesn't really care if I play them as long as I get all my stuff done.

Yea, my mum enjoys playing her PS3 sometimes :)

She agrees with most of my views on gaming as well.

Well, my mom never played games and they were not really on her radar. I am significantly older then most of you, so that is not a suprise. I do like games and I have a 19 year old (who apparently just joined these forums...). I am not as hard core as she is but I do have 2+ years into world of warcraft and I love Fall Out 3 so that has to cound for something right?

My Mom likes some video games.
Mostly Zelda.

She's currently playing a "Legend of Zelda" game. I'm not sure which one, though.
