Freelance hardware writer

Joel’s grim obsession with bad games and even worse hardware has led him on this path. Since the age of six, he’s been poking at awful games (Tak and the Power of Juju, anyone?) and oddities from his ever-expanding Steam library. He’s been writing about video games since 2008, writing for sites like Scan Computers, WePC and PC Guide. More recently Joel was Dexerto’s E-Commerce and Deputy Tech Editor, delving deep into the exploding handheld market and taking time to review those nasty video games.
