V<sup>e2 <\/sup>currently supports both the Xbox 360\u00ae and PlayStation\u00ae3, and the expanded cross-platform support will make V<sup>e2 <\/sup>the most complete solution for next generation development on the market.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Vicious Cycle has experienced its fair share of ups and downs \u2013 with the ups being not so high, and the downs being fairly depressing. <em>Dead Head Fred<\/em>, for example was released when <em>Monster Hunter<\/em> practically ate up everything else around it and the company admitted that they <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamasutra.com\/view\/news\/27315\/Vicious_Cycle_PSP_Market_Completely_Changed_Challenged_Dead_Head_Fred.php\">did not anticipate<\/a> the abrupt change of audiences in the market.
