10 Best Ever Video Game Dads

10. Ethan Mars - Heavy Rain

Now I know you’re looking at this thinking, “how the hell is a man who lost his kid a good father figure?” Well, it's true Ethan does lose his son early on in Heavy Rain, but it’s the determination to get him back that makes him such a valid dad.

Yes, of course he’s going to have severe emotional issues when you get him back and yes you might be paranoid for the rest of your life, but Ethan will do ANYTHING to see his son again.

If all else, the fact that Ethan Mars is permanently etched into the annals of gaming history with his repeated "JASOOON" shouts is enough to cement him as one of the all-time great dads. Not necessarily because he's a testament to the fatherly profession, but rather because his search for his son had some unintentionally hilarious consequences.

"Jaasooonnn!!"
