Today, VU Games added its own voice the growing chorus, announcing its showcase for next week's convention. Ironically, two of the main drawsat the company's booth will be the same as last year's E3. Half-Life 2 and StarCraft: Ghost will headline the lineup, with the former being promoted with two demos at the VU and ATI booths.
(1) VU seems the acronym of a company, and VU = ?.
(2) Should "VU Games added its own voice the growing chorus" be "VU Games added its own voice to the growing chorus"？
(3) draw?
1)

It's Vivendi Games.
2) yes.
3) A draw : A slang term for an attraction, something used to bring in spectators. It could be a product as the text indicates or it could be something else like music, colorful signs or a personality as : "The main draw of the production is the presence of Miss Candy Cane who sends the crowd into spasms of laughter with her antics."
VU Games is just a name, but here is the definition:
"A method of measuring audio on a piece of equipment. 100 VU is 100 percent of the audio that is supposed to be there. The level should not exceed 100 VU. This is used in recording and broadcasting, not sound reinforcement."
#2. Yes, the 'to' should be in the sentence.
#3. In English, 'draw' can mean an event or presentation that attracts many people.
Thanks Joe and Cav.
Cav, does that just measure audio? It is hard to imagine that today's games can be just measured with audio index while video has been ignored in the games.
