We have remarked in the past that there are quite a few third party graphics engines that can be used for game development, from the Unreal Engine to CryEngine to the Source Engine and so on. A lesser known entry in this space is the Vicious Engine and this past week its developer Vicious Cycle Software announced their plans for the second generation version of their game development tech.

VentureBeat reports that the engine will be made available to other developers around the time of the Game Developers Conference later this month. Reportedly the second version will allow developers to make games for the PC as well as the Xbox 360 and PS3 at the same time for less money than other game engines.
