One of the Xbox One's crowning new features is their added backwards compatibility with Xbox 360 games. The challenge is porting the software onto the new hardware that wasn't originally built to run it. That means gradually growing the library over an extended period of time, and only porting over games that were popular enough to be warranted, and that the original publishers are willing to work with Microsoft to do so. Today Microsoft released the list of games currently available to play through this feature on the Major Nelson blog. I've got them all listed bellow.
