Joe Danger 2: The Movie was developed by Hello Games, who went on to create No Man's Sky. Check out Matt Miller's review of the Xbox 360 release here.
Galaga Legions is a shoot 'em up based on the arcade classic. The DX remake, which was available in the Xbox Live Arcade, is already playable on the Xbox One. Dan Ryckert reviewed it here.
The Orange Box is a three-pack of Valve games that includes Half-Life 2 (plus episodes 1 and 2), the original Portal, and Team Fortress 2.

Correction: This story previously described The Orange Box as including Half-Life 2: Episode 2. The game actually includes Half-Life 2 and both subsequent stand-alone episodes.
