Today is Mother's Day, a time of the year to celebrate the person who deserves all the praise in the world: your mom. 

When you were a kid, you gave her arts and crafts projects made of construction paper, macaroni noodles, and pipe cleaners. As you've gotten older, it's been clothes, accessories, jewelry, or perfume. 

But what if you're sick of buying the same thing every year? What if you want to challenge yourself this year and find something for your mom that she may not even know she likes? 

This year, what if you got her a video game? 

Your mom may not be the biggest gamer in the world, but that doesn't mean she can't enjoy herself on a Wii, Nintendo 3DS, or Xbox. Every console offers a gameplay experience for every type of gamer, your mother included.

So instead of roses, up the ante this Mother's Day with these 10 video games you can buy instead.
