When the short-lived Perpetual Entertainment shut its doors in 2008, it left behind two games. One was Star Trek Online, which had been snatched up by Cryptic the year before. The other was Gods & Heroes, which was eventually picked up by startup Heatwave Interactive.

Design
A cursory look at the 3DS is immediate proof of just how evolutionary its design is. In many ways, it looks and acts like a power user's DSi. That extends to the relative bulk of the design. It's not as big as a DSi XL, but it's definitely thick and not what you'd want to put in a pants pocket. We would give it a pass mostly because of how much it's fitting into the space it uses.
The controls will be uncannily familiar to DS veterans, with one major exception: an analog pad. To say it was overdue would be an understatement. The pad finally allows subtle, more precise movement and moves that would be difficult or impossible on a basic directional pad, such as the sweeping motion for a hadouken in Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition. Even in games like Pilotwings Resort, it was a relief to have that much control. It's a much better implementation than the PSP's almost nub-like stick, too, and there was no fear that we'd overshoot or lose grip.
