Develop: Thoughts from our expert panel on what to look out for this year.
Earlier this week Develop asked industry members what they were looking forward to in 2010.
Ben Board, European Developer Account Manager, Microsoft: "With my Xbox head on: well, call me predictable, but 2010 is going to be the biggest year ever for Xbox 360 given the launch of Natal at the end of the year (which, finally, I'm allowed to say).
We're treating this like the launch of a new console. You can imagine what the months leading up to that will look like for us and the team, not to mention the developers making those precious launch titles: bonkers, in a word, but also incredibly exciting to be involved in something I truly believe to be revolutionary."

It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.

Mojang has partnered with Merlin Entertainments to build the world's first Minecraft theme park in the UK.

A three-episode live-action adaptation of the first two Yakuza video games will debut Tuesday, March 17 exclusively IGN. Each episode is about an hour long and will stream on IGN.com and IGN’s YouTube channel.
Great, a bunch of honest opinions and a Microsoft PR statement. I would have loved to seen the Nintendo and Sony PR statements to go along side of Microsoft.
