XboxIE brings HTML5 games to Xbox One
The site is called Xboxie and while it was not made by Microsoft, it seems to have the unofficial stamp of approval from Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb, the director of Xbox Live programming.
Next time you turn on your Xbox One, Say "Xbox Go To Internet Explorer" and open http://t.co/pASGfHu68p - You are welcome

The site uses the Xbox One's version of Internet Explorer to offer a number of free HTML5-based games that can be played with the console's controller. While technically any HTML5 web game could be played on the Xbox One, nearly all of them are optimzed for a keyboard and mouse setup. The site's creators state, "So we at Xboxie search and test each game to make sure it runs smooth and plays well on a controller. So to sum up, if it's on Xboxie then you can play it on your Xbox One."
The collection of games, as you might expect, is mostly of casual titles but there are a few familiar names such as Pac Man, Cut The Rope and Bejeweled. The Xboxie team has pledged to reach out to other game developers so that more web-based games can support the Xbox One via IE.

That's pretty cool, but I don't see why the big draw is to these games. If I really want to play things like cut the rope and Pac Man, I will play them on my mobile device.

Calyx This is pretty amazing, I will be sure to try this next time I turn on my console.
I want an XBONE, but I don't want to pay the price it's at.

Ahh, nice. This is pretty innovative if you think about it. Flash is pretty much dead now.

Dong Pac Man is probably my favorite right next to Pong. Just love the classics
That's the only game on there that I am familiar with though.

-Water Some of the games are actually pretty fun.
They more seem like simple games to just kill a little time to me. Nothing that i would be able to really get into
