So what about Ruffian? Theyre making a new game, but we dont know if it is for Microsoft or not?

Well if it is a remake, or a reboot of a FPS of a Microsoft owned game that would be Crackdown, Halo, or Perfect Dark.  I cant think of any other owned FPS games from MSFT.

Though it could be a new ip as well.  Hmm, wonder what it could be

EDIT: crackdown is a TPS isnt it

If it is a remake id certainly think Halo 2 since it has been nearly confirmed on multiple occasions.  Ruffian working on Halo 2 (Possible Halo 3, 4 ports) and 343i can focus on Halo 5

The Chinese government has published a list of censorship rules for console games in the country, and it's fairly extensive and will seemingly impact a large number of games. A news release translated by Games In Asia outlines the rules, which arrive after China lifted its 14-year ban on console games earlier this year.

All games must be approved by the Shanghai government culture department and the approval process for games is said to take no longer than 20 days. Content that will not be allowed in games sold in China includes the following:

• Gambling-related content or game features
• Anything that violates China’s constitution
• Anything that threatens China’s national unity, sovereignty, or territorial integrity.
• Anything that harms the nation’s reputation, security, or interests.
• Anything that instigates racial/ethnic hatred, or harms ethnic traditions and cultures.
• Anything that violates China’s policy on religion by promoting cults or superstitions.
• Anything that promotes or incites obscenity, drug use, violence, or gambling.
• Anything that harms public ethics or China’s culture and traditions.
• Anything that insults, slanders, or violates the rights of others.
• Other content that violates the law

Games that are denied will be returned with the reason for their rejection clearly stated, Games In Asia reports. As such, developers are likely to be able to alter their games and resubmit them if they wish. The report doesn't lay out any specific examples of games that would make the cut, but you'd have to imagine that contentious games likeGrand Theft Auto V would be rejected.

China's new console game rules also state that game updates like DLC need to be submitted for approval, even if the main game in question was already approved. This is a significant and potentially problematic point when you consider how frequently some games are updated today.

The lifting of China's longheld console ban would seem to be a boon for platform holders like Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo. However, it remains to be seen what impact it will have on the fortunes of those companies. China began its console ban in 2000, following concerns about potential harm to the physical and mental development of children.

"Anything that promotes or incites obscenity, drug use, violence, or gambling."

That's the only annoying one out of the bunch, 90% of HD games are violent.

That said MS have

Peggle, Zoo Tycoon, Max, Lococyle, Forza 5, Rayman, Skylanders, Just Dance, Lego _____, Kinect Sports Rivals, Project Spark, Trials Fusion, NFS, Powerstar Golf and Sports games.

Stuff like Ryse, KI look like they won't make the cut.

Im curious to see if they let them go through anyways.  I doubt it but maybe.  Maybe only over violent games will be the ones that gets excluded, like Mortal Kombat and Gears of War.  Most likely not the case but hopefully.  

Going out on a limb here ...

Kojima, Capcom and another company I forgot are making announcements today ... same day MS announce the Japanese launch date.

Just a coincidence? Probably but still interesting.

Thee is a chance that some wee left off the list for surprise announcements.  Think of when Sony announced thei list f games for this year

Is VGC loading slowly for anybody else?

Shh....... They're watching....
