Co-founder and current host of Video Games Live (VGL), Tommy Tallarico explains this sensory extravaganza: "We created VGL to prove to the world how culturally significant and artistic video games have become...not only for gamers, but also for everyone to enjoy. The thing that makes VGL unique is that there are so many elements to the show. We have the orchestra and the choir all interacting in time with spectacular and beautiful visuals, rock-and-roll lighting effects, and the most up-to-date technology creating dramatic special effects. It is so important to realize that this is not just a show for gamers but that there are elements to excite everyone." – Guy Cocker of Gamespot interview with Tommy Tallarico
