<description>The Video Games Live Review&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We attended Video Games Live last Friday at the Kentucky Center of the Arts. Jack Wall conducted the Louisville Orchestra in a truly energetic, multimedia performance. Highlights included co-producer Tommy Tallarico introducing pieces, hosting the on-stage competitions, and introducing surprise guests, such as Martin Leung - the Video Game Pianist. Oh, and let's not forget how he rocked out on stage with his guitar, as he and Jack brought together the Orchestra, and the Louisville Choir in an incredible fusion of music, lights, and video. The crowd was enthusiastic and engaged. One of my favorite parts came when Tommy asked for people to open their cell phones (rather than flick their lighters on) and the crowd obliged. Some had smartphones and there was even one laptop in the crowd. I must admit, I had an internal squeek of geeker joy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was an incredible experience and we'll will certainly be attending next year!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Links:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.videogameslive.com"&gt;Video Games Live&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tallarico.com"&gt;Tommy Tallarico's website&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jackwall.net"&gt;Jack Wall's website&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.videogamepianist.com/"&gt;The Video Game Pianist&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.louisvilleorchestra.org/"&gt;The Louisville Orchestra&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.computersplus.com/store/pc/viewContent.asp?idpage=5"&gt;Computers Plus&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.razerzone.com/"&gt;Razer - For Gamers.
