Hey I've been reading your review and fear not! HoMM 5
IS coming by the hand of Nival and Ubisoft, due to release in about 10 days if all goes well!
www.mightandmagic.com this is the site :P
I'm a huge fan of HoMM myself and though I like HoMM3 the best, I had my bit of fun with the original.
Thanks for this great game!
