Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes

Unlike Puzzle Quest -- a straight-up riff on Bejeweled -- Clash of Heroes doesn't ape another game's mechanics. This is a game all its own with a lot of depth and nuance to be discovered. The story mode takes well over 30 hours to journey through, and it's filled with side quests, bounty hunts, puzzle challenges, hidden units, artifacts, and some fun characters along the way. Intricately detailed environments and smooth animation make Clash of Heroes a gorgeous endeavor. It’s a game to get lost in, providing hours and hours of single- and multiplayer fun.
