I've pledged for two games:
Valdis Story Abyssal City
Arakion
The first is a typical exploration platformer with RPG elements. Here's a demo link that was released two days ago with 2 playable characters.
The second is some kind of group based RPG with focus on customization and town building. There's an alpha phase on the way, might be released in a month or two.

Just a quick update and highlight of a few projects:
Cthulhu Wars is in it's last few hours, having raised $1.3 million so far. They have added a "De Vermiis Mysteriis" pledge level offering all the expansions and extras for a "mere" $525 (which is probably a bargain given it covers more than 200 miniatures and 5 sets of 40"x20" maps) and a $325 "Book of Eibon" which allows a choice of 3 expansions (choose the 3 map expansions and go for the $160 faction bundle to get most of the gameplay content).
On the gamebook side, the Maelorum Reprint is running a dungeon exploration game on their homepage for $100+ backers and are soon to reveal a Treasure Chest 2 pledge level. Shinte Warrior have achieved funding following a collaboration with Holdfast (those who pledge $50+ to both projects gain extra content from each).
Those interested in soundtracks should note that Darkraven have a second KS for Cthulhu Soundscapes (the "big C" certainly gets around...). Ambient Environments is also offering 6 hours while the Realmsound project will be making its soundtracks available to all free of charge.
Rail buffs should head straight for - not cheap at $180+ but likely to be one of the best featured railroad boardgames. Those of more modest means should check [url=http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1992425277/1862-railway-mania-in-the-eastern-counties-0]1862 while the committed will doubtless do both.
Really hard to pick outstanding PC games from so many, but , [url=http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lexisgames/taxi-journey]Taxi Journey and Eterium look to be amongst the best.

Heh, I liked the granny too. But I think they need more detail on how their system works, especially with computer games where shadow/occlusion details may be inaccurate or nonexistent. And using shuttered glasses on a 50Hz TV screen (giving 25 fps for each eye) seems unlikely to give a great experience.

"Questria: Princess Destiny" - a very... stylized project on indiegogo which is very reminiscent of Princess Maker.
It's flexible funding, has a steep goal of $60k and you need to pay $20 to get the game. I'm ultimately not sure how I feel about it...
