		It's a fantasy land in this week's PSN update. First up is <em>Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes</em> from Capy (<em>Critter Crunch, Sword &amp; Sworcery</em>), the HD port of its <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/06/22/preview-clash-of-heroes-hd-multiplayer/">excellent</a> puzzle RPG for DS. Instead of abstract jewels creating the gameplay, the game has actual units on the field that can be <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/04/05/clash-of-heroes-hd-trailer-teaches-the-tactics-of-puzzle-fightin/">matched to create better units</a>. Definitely try out the demo.<br />
		<br />
		Also available is <em>Dungeon Hunter: Alliance</em>, which being from <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/Gameloft/">Gameloft</a> automatically means it's donning +2 hat of generic, but the title does feature <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/03/10/dungeon-hunter-alliance-hacks-and-slashes-onto-psn-this-april/">four-player co-op dungeon crawling</a>.<br />
		<br />
		Quest on past the break for all this week's DLC.</div>

Capy's Nathan Vella tells us that the PSN and XBLA version of <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/might-and-magic-clash-of-heroes"><em>Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes</em></a> will finally be available next month. 
<meta charset="utf-8" />
The title has already had a couple of console release windows over the past year, but is now finalized for "mid-April."<br />
<br />
Vella says that the game shouldn't be considered a strict port of the DS version released in 2009. Beyond the art assets being redone, he also says that the dev rebalanced the game, taking the units that "sucked" and redesigned them to be functional.<div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/might-and-magic-clash-of-heroes-hd-e3-2010/">Might &amp; Magic: Clash of Heroes HD (E3 2010)</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/might-and-magic-clash-of-heroes-hd-e3-2010/#3109084"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2010/06/cohhd2010-06-10-1_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/might-and-magic-clash-of-heroes-hd-e3-2010/#3109085"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2010/06/cohhd2010-06-10-2_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/might-and-magic-clash-of-heroes-hd-e3-2010/#3109086"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2010/06/cohhd2010-06-10-3_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/might-and-magic-clash-of-heroes-hd-e3-2010/#3109087"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2010/06/cohhd2010-06-10-4_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/might-and-magic-clash-of-heroes-hd-e3-2010/#3109088"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2010/06/cohhd2010-06-10-5_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/03/11/might-and-magic-clash-of-heroes-on-psn-xbla-mid-april/">Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes on PSN, XBLA mid-April</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Fri, 11 Mar 2011 18:00:00 EST.

Following up yesterday's announcement that <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/might-and-magic-clash-of-heroes"><em>Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes</em></a> is getting <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/03/10/capy-porting-clash-of-heroes-to-psn-and-xbla/">an HD facelift</a> and coming to Xbox Live and PSN, Ubisoft has revealed the first teaser trailer for the game. Amidst all of the quoted accolades and plumes of smoke are some actual tidbits of gameplay. <br />
<br />
In short: this looks <em>purty</em>.<br />

We will refrain from the bullish assumption that everyone (and their mother) owns an iPhone, but if you do and have played <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/Critter-Crunch/">Critter Crunch</a></em>, Ubisoft's upcoming <em>Might &amp; Magic: Clash of Heroes</em> may look a tad familiar. That's because <em>Critter Crunch</em> and <em>Clash of Heroes</em> are developed by the same team -- <span lang="EN-CA">Toronto's Capybara Games</span> -- and both feature a similar look and puzzle style.<br /><br />Something that won't be familiar when watching the trailer for <em>Clash of Heroes</em> is <em>excitement</em> for a <em>Might &amp; Magic</em> title. While Ubisoft has attempted to revamp the license in <a href="http://xbox.joystiq.com/tag/dark-messiah">various ways</a> over the years, Capybara's simple puzzle adventure feels like a step in the right direction for the franchise. Also, it doesn't help that every character in <em>Clash of Heroes</em> is <em>adorable</em> -- another trademark of Capybara Games, <a href="http://playstation.joystiq.com/2009/05/12/critter-crunch-coming-to-the-psn-this-summer/#continued">it would seem</a>.<span lang="EN-CA"></span><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/07/09/might-and-magic-clash-of-heroes-trailer-may-look-familiar/">Might &amp; Magic: Clash of Heroes trailer may look familiar</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 09 Jul 2009 17:00:00 EST.
