I only wanted to get Splosion Man, but I figure the pack is a better value... If the games are any good.
Comic Jumper, I have less experience with, but it seems great if you're a comic fan, so you should definitely enjoy it. Jumping through super hero, fantasy, and manga-style comics with all the appropriate shifts in aesthetics and tropes seems like a blast. I no longer own a 360 but it's one of the first I'd go back and play all the way through.
Maw is probably the weakest of the bunch, but I did screw around on it some.

I only briefly played Splosion Man, but Ms Splosion Man was a pretty interesting platformer, since you're literally blowing yourself up to jump. It has neat interactions with environmental objects that you really need to get down to progress. it's a comedy, and it manages to be wacky without feeling forced, and the action sequences are surprisingly seamless for such a small indie game. It's really well done, with great voice acting, and there are cool extras (sometimes live action music video stuff from the actual developers. It's awesome). You really feel like the team enjoyed making their product. Splosion Man seemed pretty similar.Comic Jumper, I have less experience with, but it seems great if you're a comic fan, so you should definitely enjoy it.

Sounds like a buy.
Looks like they're all backwards compatible if you have an Xbox One (Unlike the Ms Splosion Man Pinball FX2 table, which is a shame as its a really fun table)
Wow, quite a few games not backwards compatibile. A few like Dead Rising or Bulletstorm, I assume are because they have enhanced ports (Which you're forced to rebuy, hello double dip)
Darkstar One isn't bc.
Bastion didn't make the cut? Surprising, considering how hard it was marketed.
Dust an Elysian Tale. That is a shame, one of the better Metroidvania's.
Bionic Commando Rearmed 1.
Dishonored?? 😱
Max Payne 3 (Another big surprise)
At least they have Steam ports I guess. No use for Xbone owners, but its more then Bangai-O HD Missile Fury or Assault Heroes 1 got, those are 360 or bust. Poker Night at the Inventory as well, which no longer exists on Steam.
And then there's the games cleaned off XBLA with no port anywhere. Lost to time, or those lucky enough to have copies sitting around.
