Game Booster Editor's Review

The main purpose of Game Booster is to optimize and speed up your Windows system in preparation for game playing. I really liked the sound of this application and thought it could become a very useful tool for many users.

At first launch of Game Booster, you are greeted with a list of currently installed games on your system. The UI is sectioned up into several different tabs and categories, the first being ‘GameBox’. GameBox contains icons and shortcuts to launch games already installed. If you launch a game through GameBox, Game Booster automatically applies the default ‘Boost Mode’ settings, temporarily disabling what it thinks are unnecessary background processes, and various other little tweaks such as turning off automatic updates. I found this really useful.

If you are not happy with what Game Booster temporarily turns off by default, it’s actually very easy to configure what happens when you enter Boost mode. All settings are easily accessed via the Configure tab near the bottom of the window, and are split up into four main categories – Processes, Unnecessary Services, Non-Windows Services, and Others. However, I feel that delving into these different configuration settings could appear a daunting task for less computer competent users, and that the default settings may well be enough for normal gamers. Game Booster is configurable even further for very technical users, which could be seen as a downside. The high configurability could cause huge confusion for any user who doesn’t fully understand the options available to them.

One thing which I really like about Game Booster is that it doesn’t just speed your system up for game playing. To initiate Boost mode, you don’t even have to have a game installed! You can start Boost mode at any time and temporarily disable all unnecessary services and processes whenever you like – a very useful feature for times when your system starts to feel slow and sluggish and a restart isn’t convenient.

Game Booster allows you to ‘diagnose and analyse’ your system right inside the application, running various tests in a matter of seconds. As much as this information could be useful to power users or technicians, I don’t see how this feature is at all useful to home users and standard game players, potentially causing further confusion – maybe a slightly unnecessary addition?

Finally, Game Booster provides you with the capability to tweak your system slightly by means of defragmentation, registry tweaks, and checking for driver updates. All great maintenance features for competent users, how maybe would fit better into a different application?

Overall, I would class Game Booster as a professional level system enhancement tool. Some of the features provided are incredibly powerful and can have a huge effect on how well your system runs intensive games. However I do strongly feel that Game Booster may be slightly confusing and hard to comprehend as well for casual PC users and gamers. I would love to see two separate editions of Game Booster, one for the casual user, and one for the power user. I’d give Game Booster a rating of 9/10.
