Yes, the big news at the pre-TGS Microsoft conference included Ninja Gaiden 2, 2 new Xbox 360-exclusive Square Enix RPGs called Infinite Undiscovery and The Last Remnant (sorry, no Final Fantasy announcements), Lost Odyssey, and a PC bundle of Gears of War and Dead Rising for a mere $44 USD.
However, they also announced a spate of new Xbox Live Arcade games. Some of them, like EXIT, Castle Crashers, Schizoid, Omega Five, and Every Extend Extra Extreme, were not news. However, others were surprises, such as Rez and the long-forgotten Dreamcast classic Ikaruga. Other titles included Triggerheart Exelica and Braid.
The funny thing is that Rez was a Sony-published game for the PlayStation 2 in America (originally a Dreamcast game in Japan.)

This is cool however, I never got to play Rez.
