Videogame Recording Software

[testisbest]

Hey so I was wondering if anyone here has used this type of software before and what you guys think are the best ones.
Right now I'm thinking of getting FRAPS for $37. I need you fine gents to convince me or talk me out of it.
Are any of the freeware ones any good?

-Thanks!

FRAPS is great as long as your computer can handle recording video while playing a game. I would suggest trying out the free trial if you haven't already.
