Video games must be here to stay. All the cartoons, (terrible) movies, action figures and whatnot, those were just flashes in the pan. But now that Madam Tussauds has immortalized Halo’s Master Chief in wax (clay, actually), there’s pretty much no doubt that this video game fad is sticking around.
Tired of staring at the dry erase board on the fridge reminding you to take out the trash? Sure, you could sign up for a useful online service to help you and your roommates/family remember whose turn it is to pay the bills. Or you could try to make a game out of it.

You can create characters, join guilds and go on adventures. But while the way to “level up” in most games is by performing repetitive tasks like slaying monsters, in Chore Wars you perform repetitive tasks like washing dishes.
