Street Fighter IV should be a boon for any big fans of the fighting series. If you're familiar with the franchise, there won't be any surprises here: the likes of Ryu, Chun-Li and Ken are here with a dedicated arcade mode to boot.
The other 3 titles are much more minor entries on the list. Luxor 2 is a puzzle game in which you destroy colored balls to take on Egyptian god Set. Poker Smash, on the other hand, is an interesting arcade-like take on poker with 7 different game modes. Finally, Madballs: Babo Invasion looks like a violent little top-down shooter in which you take on dozens of different game modes as an armored sphere character, attempting to kill as many enemies as possible.
If you already own any of these games, you should be able to start playing them on your Xbox One now. For more, be sure to check out our running list of backward compatible games.
