Xbox One owners can enjoy another three Xbox 360 games that were recently added to the ever-growing Backward Compatibility list. "Galaga Legions," "Joe Danger 2: The Movie," and "The Orange Box" are now available.

"Galaga Legions" was originally released back in 2008 and was developed and published by Namco Bandai Games. It is an enhanced remake of the Namco's classic game, "Galaga, " but it comes with a different type of gameplay. The game includes two satellites that assist in shooting down the hoard of enemies. There are also two modes available, an arcade-like "Adventure Mode" and the "Championship Mode," where players can choose one specific level and compete in a high-score competition.

Back in 2012, "Joe Danger 2: The Movie" was released and developed by Hello Games for the previous-generation video game consoles, as well as on OSX, Linux, Windows PC, and PlayStation Vita. The racing and platformer game allows the player to perform all the stunts needed in a Hollywood movie. Joe, the main character, needs to do chase scenes on mini carts, police bikes, and skis.

"The Orange Box," released in 2007 by Valve Corporation, is a set of multiple games. The bundle includes "Half-Life 2: Episode 2," "Team Fortress 2," and "Portal." "Half-Life 2: Episode 2" and "Team Fortress 2" are first-person shooter games, while "Portal" is a first-person puzzle-platform game.

Gamers who previously owned the digital copies of the aforementioned games should see them all in the Games App library, Fans who owned the physical copies should pop them in the Xbox One in order to download their respective digital versions so that they can be installed on the Xbox One.

For a complete list of the more than 250 games on the list, Xbox One owners are encouraged to check the Backward Compatibility web page to be updated on the new games. The site is updated on a regular basis.

Roughly two weeks ago, "Silent Hill: Downpour," "Eat Lead," and "Puzzle Quest" were added on the list.
