PSN Tuesday: Clash of Heroes HD, Dungeon Hunter: Alliance
It's a fantasy land in this week's PSN update. First up is Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes from Capy (Critter Crunch, Sword & Sworcery), the HD port of its excellent puzzle RPG for DS. Instead of abstract jewels creating the gameplay, the game has actual units on the field that can be matched to create better units. Definitely try out the demo. Also available is Dungeon Hunter: Alliance, which being from Gameloft automatically means it's donning +2 hat of generic, but the title does feature four-player co-op dungeon crawling. Quest on past the break for all this week's DLC. Choose your platform to view the corresponding release list: (Note: Continue past the break to view both release lists.)
Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes on PSN, XBLA mid-April
Capy's Nathan Vella tells us that the PSN and XBLA version of Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes will finally be available next month. The title has already had a couple of console release windows over the past year, but is now finalized for "mid-April." 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.%Gallery-96062%

Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes trailer may look familiar
We will refrain from the bullish assumption that everyone (and their mother) owns an iPhone, but if you do and have played Critter Crunch, Ubisoft's upcoming Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes may look a tad familiar. That's because Critter Crunch and Clash of Heroes are developed by the same team -- Toronto's Capybara Games -- and both feature a similar look and puzzle style.Something that won't be familiar when watching the trailer for Clash of Heroes is excitement for a Might & Magic title. While Ubisoft has attempted to revamp the license in various ways 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 Clash of Heroes is adorable -- another trademark of Capybara Games, it would seem.
