It's been a long couple of years since the last Heroes installment - and a worrisome transformation into the third dimension. The long wait is now over: our gaping mouths declared it officially worth it after seeing the startlingly gorgeous Heroes world. If you are just looking for a summer fling, be warned: Heroes has enough depth and sheer gameplay hours to wrap you around its finger for years. For fans of the Might and Magic series and turn-based strategy aficionados alike, Heroes V can't be missed.

HoMMV is the first title in the series to make it into three dimensions, and that’s no bad thing. The game looks pretty damn good, even without the fun stuff turned on - if you have a decent machine (and believe me, you'll need one) then HoMMV is very pretty indeed. Gameplay-wise, we’re looking at a turn based strategy game.Your Hero (which represents your army) can only move so far per turn and so on, but you can have multiple heroes (armies), cities (which you capture) and so on.
