While stationed in Moscow, he produced Pirates of the Caribbean[5] for the Xbox which was the first western console game developed within the former Soviet Union.

Breton founded the game development company Kozmo Games[6] in 2004, to develop casual games for the global market. Kozmo Games has since developed and released Ice Cream Tycoon [7] and War Chess [8] for the casual game market.

Breton returned to California in 2005 where he joined Take Two Interactive[9] and produced World Poker Tour for the PS2, PlayStation Portable, Xbox, and Game Boy Advance platforms. He also produced Amped 3[10], a launch title for the Xbox 360. He joined the Major League Baseball 2K6 team and produced the PlayStation Portable version of the exclusive Major League Baseball game which was released in Spring of 2006.

Joel began working as a Senior Producer with Hudson Entertainment in 2006 and produced Bomberman Live among several other console titles for the U.S. division of Hudson Soft.
