Games I've Kickstarted:

Shadowrun Returns
Shadowrun Dragonfall
Shadowrun Hong Kong
Torment: Tides of Numenera
Moebius: Empire Rising
Wasteland 2
Banner Saga

Plus BattleTech which seems to be coming along just fine.

That's also pretty much a list of my favourite games from recent years. Well except for Moebius, which sucked, but that hit/miss ratio is still likely better than with games I've bought other ways. Additionally, most of those games wouldn't exist without crowdfunding, so I'm personally quite happy with Kickstarter.

Of course you have to be careful what you put your money into, but that's just how games are. You can just as easily waste 60 bucks on a bug-riddled AAA game with 4 hours of mediocre gameplay.
