The next batch of Xbox 360 games made available for the Xbox One though backwards compatibility have been announced by good ol’ Major Nelson, and there are some good ones.

Here’s what to expect:

Braid – Arcade
Dues Ex: Human Revolution – Games On Demand
Doritos Crash Course – Arcade
Fable III – Games On Demand
Halo: Reach – Games On Demand
Hydro Thunder – Arcade
Iron Brigade – Arcade           
Kane & Lynch 2 – Games On Demand
Motocross Madness – Arcade
MS. PAC-MAN – Arcade
Peggle – Arcade
Portal: Still Alive – Arcade    
Spelunky – Arcade
‘Splosion Man – Arcade
Ticket to Ride – Arcade
Zuma’s Revenge! – Arcade

While a number of these titles are neither here nor there, like Zuma’s Revenge and Doritos Crash Course, the addition of Portal, Halo: Reach, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Spelunky and a few others is great news; they’re great games.

Here’s hoping that, like with Fallout 3, Fable III runs better than it does on the Xbox 360 – though it’s still a pretty frustrating game anyway.
