Heroes of Might and Magic V Preview

Games Radar has written up a three-page preview of Ubisoft and Nival's Heroes of Might and Magic V, after spending some firsthand time in the game's ongoing beta test. Check it out:
The six factions are alive with legions of creatures, but Heroes also packs a ton of new skills and spells in its rucksack, most with impressive visual effects. You'll also discover rare artifacts that jack up your Hero's power in and out of the fight. Despite the array of upgrades, Heroes remains extremely accessible to new players due to the Duel Mode. This one-on-one grudge match with equal, prepackaged armies enables you to suck friends into the cool and addictive Heroes world.
