I struggle to remember when it is that I first became aware of Fraps though I believe it was around the CounterStrike 1.4 release, which was in early 2002 (though I may be wrong). Personally I did not use Fraps until a few years later, when I was fairly large into the CAL-I and CAL-M leagues for CounterStrike 1.6. We would use Fraps to record scrimmages and gameplay then review them for match time. In the ten-plus years both the recording technologies as well as the internet have changed greatly, especially with the advent of Twitch, Let's Play videos on YouTube, and the ever-growing montage market. With the popularity of capture devices and YouTube/Twitch gamers showing off their skills or walking gamers through difficult games, there are more and more recording applications available on the market, does the godfather of the game recording world still have what it takes after a decade of success?
