Tommy Tallarico (born on February 18, 1968) is an American video game music composer. He founded Tommy Tallarico Studios in 1994 and the Game Audio Network Guild (G.A.N.G.) in 2001. He co-hosts, produces, and writes for The Electric Playground, a TV show about video games. He also co-hosts Reviews on the Run, (formerly Judgment Day on the G4 network) a television show in which he and Victor Lucas review video games. He is also an advisory board member for the Game Developers Conference, a governor for the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences (NARAS/Grammy) and a nominating peer panel leader for the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences.

Since entering the video game industry in 1991, Tallarico has worked on over three-hundred titles including the Earthworm Jim series, MDK, Spot Goes to Hollywood, Maximo, and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. He recently worked on the videogame Advent Rising which was both a critical and commercial flop.

In January 2006, Tallarico announced on his website that he and friend Victor Lucas had decided to move Judgment Day from G4 to a different network, under the name Reviews on the Run, as it's known in Canada.[citation needed]

He and Lucas also act as video game correspondents for HypaSpace Weekly.

Tommy is the cousin of lead rock singer Steven Tyler of Aerosmith.
