There's a PC demo for Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords, a cool concoction that blends casual games with role-playing in what can only be called a Match-3 RPG. But before you get too excited, there are some gotchas. 1) The game is only available right now for Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable. 2) You won't be able to find it at stores since few retailers thought anyone would buy it, and those that ordered any have sold out. 3) The PSP version has shinier graphics and sound, but slower saves and a naughty bug that prevents you from getting companion bonuses - and which might not be patchable. 3) The DS version is zippier and provides companion bonuses but lacks the graphic and musical detail, offers only two save slots and apparently freezes from time to time. So your best bet is to order the DS version online or, better yet, wait for the PC game - which hasn't been officially announced for contractual reasons but has been all but confirmed. Rumor has it that a definitive PC edition complete with online multiplayer and significantly fewer bugs will surface by summer...
