Joel Eddy

In 1999, Joel was smacked over the head by a little known Euro game, Löwenherz. From that point he began a process of investigating all things gaming and rekindling that lost love from child hood. In early 2011 Joel Eddy established Drive Thru Review on YouTube, and embarked on an endeavor to review a variety of games that have flown under the radar of the mainstream. The reviews are also intended to give the viewer a better sense of the game’s theme and try to touch on the relationship that the game and its mechanisms have to the subject matter, as well as the social environment established by the game.

Joel currently works as a software engineer in Northern Idaho where he lives with his wife and two sons.
