Days after snatching up comic book company Marvel, The Walt Disney Company added Chicago-based video game maker Wideload Studios to its list of properties.
Their titles include Stubbs the Zombie in "Rebel Without a Pulse," Texas Cheat 'Em and Hail to the Chimp.
The 6-year-old company's founder and CEO, Alexander Seropian, will join Disney Interactive Studios in the newly-created role of Vice President of Creative, the company announced in a statement.
Seropian was the co-founder of the former Bungie Studios, the developers of widely popular games such as Halo: Combat Evolved and Myth. Bungie was later bought by Microsoft.
