In conclusion, I really enjoy Action! from Mirillis. The ability to record high-quality tutorials is a great feature, and I must admit it is quite fun to record video game play and then be able to go back and watch it. The built in benchmark gadget is always displayed to help you keep an eye out on your framerates and performance. With plenty of features and settings, Action! is a product to consider when wanting to record high-quality video tutorials and gameplay.

Awesome giveaway avinash, i didn’t except at all.
The best Game recorder had feature like smooth HD Recording, Benchmark record function, Screenshot capture, multiple setting features regarding volume, core recording, cursor recording, system sound , microphone, HUD, hotkey etc.

Looks like a great app.  The only Con is that  you need a state of the art PC for it, but fortunately that is no problem for me. The output file-size is also reasonably modest. Bandicam has even smaller files, but the video quality is not as high. Please count me in.
Looks like a fun program.
Would like to give it a go while playing my games.
Count me in please.
Thanks.
that’s cool software to show tips and tricks to make game life easier, thanks for the contest.

Looks good. I’m looking for a recorder that can record from system, not from my microphone, so I’ll check this out. Camtasia does this but then you have to convert the file. Count me in for this, sounds promising.
A well thought out program with many uses. Â By all means toss my name into the hat.

To have a desktop recorder is always handy

So I hope to win.
