Crowd Funding Spotlight: Games

The Crowd funding movement is really getting big. Since it's inception a few years ago, hundreds of thousands of people have used it for everything from restoring historical landmarks to finance their garage bands album.

Enough time has passed by for people to get a good enough idea of what projects have a better chance of getting funded than other projects that won't. One industry to really benefit from crowd funding has been the game market.

This has a lot to do with the fact that a lot of these game kickstarters almost always promise a "gift" for a certain level of donations. This is often times the game itself and sometimes extra's that will only be available to donors.

Below are a few games that are worth your time to take a look, but hurry some are ending very soon.

So the first edition was a runaway hit. I haven't played it yet but have watched demos on youtube, it look like loads of fun. They're offering a bunch of exclusive items only available during this Kickstarter. It's worth noting the first set of exclusives offered from their first campaign demand a huge price on ebay, so this might be a good monetary investment as well as a fun one.
