Vision Videogames takes over GRS Games.
Vision Videogames has announced their acquisition of GRS Games, a Towson, Maryland based video game developer of non-violent, realistic PS2 and PC video games. The buy out was effective March 4, 2004. The company will continue without management or personnel changes. Bill Mueller, President and CEO of Vision Videogames believed that the time was right to make the purchase.
The company is working on their Christmas 2004 release of SpaceStation:SIM, a PS2 and PC game in which the player assumes the roll of the Chief Administrator of NASA and the responsibility of astronauts aboard the International Space Station. The game was developed with the cooperation of NASA through a Space Act Agreement.
Vision Videogames will use Vision Audio, Inc, their own in-house recording studio to do sound and music for other video game companies. Bill Mueller, who has over 30 years in the recording industry as a recording engineer is very sensitive to the specific needs and demands of a video game studio. "Our team has years of recording experience with this genre. It takes a lot of the guesswork out of the studio. This studio has been built from the ground up specifically for recording audio for video games", says Mueller.
