Fraps - Game Recording Software

This is a pretty nice program if you're interested in recording gameplay like in CounterStrike, Halo, World of Warcraft, Command and Conquer, ect...

It's free but you can only record 30 seconds at a time. (you can start again after the 30 seconds.)
You get unlimited recording time if you buy it though.

It also has the ability to take screenshots and save them automatically.

The ability to only record for 30 seconds is new to me, past versions didn't have this from what I recall. The program can slow down your system if you've got a lower end computer. Especially if you're barely meeting the requirements of the game as it is. Here is a video of my playing my Mage in Wow on Kel'Thuzad back in 2006. But other then that one potential drawback the program is really easy to use and when not recording doesn't take up much resources.
