BioWare Announces MS Deal, New Games

Received an email from BioWare, announcing a publishing deal with Microsoft. Microsoft will be publishing a new BioWare title on the Xbox, based on a new intellectual property owned by BioWare. We PC gamers get a new game from the Canadian developer as well though, as a "BioWare Corp. PC roleplaying property is under development" though this game does not yet have a publisher. Nothing much else is known on either game but this is BioWare so at the very least you can count on the games being good.
