"Not so Great"
September 11, 2012 | By realitycheck5
Version: Free Fire Screensaver 2.20
Pros
Looks cool and fun.
Cons
I tried and tried to download this screensaver. When it finally did download, it absolutely wouldn't function. I've downloaded many programs from c|net and never had a problem. Way too much trouble to mess with. I deleted it.
Summary
The screensaver looked great on c|net's site, but would not work properly.

"Okay, but not really a 'screensaver' per se"
April 18, 2012 | By Seething_Sage
Version: Free Fire Screensaver 2.20
Pros
Options to customize some of the settings including sounds. Effect is cool.
Cons
1. On my 1920 x 1200 display, the 'snapshot' it takes of my screen to put the flames overlay on is a much lower resolution than my actual screen, so it's like I'm looking at a zoomed in/cropped view of my desktop. That sort of ruins the effect.
2. As an actual screensaver, which is supposed to serve the function of preventing LCD image persistence (a.k.a. burn-in), it doesn't really work. The windows it shows are static underneath the flame effect, which doesn't move and only flickers in place, and red is the absolute worst color for causing burn-in. But as long as you set your power options to actually turn off your entire display after the screensaver is on for afew minutes, you should be fine. But I wouldn't leave this running for any great length of time with the monitor set to never go to sleep... that could be bad over time.
Summary
It's cool and has potential. But it needs to be capable of higher resolutions, and IMO to prevent LCD image persistence it ought to add some kind of "burning all windows down to ash at the bottom of the screen" effect or something like that, which would reset/loop... preventing the same windows/effects always being in the same spot on your screen. (There used to be an old Win 98 screensaver that disintegrated your screen pixel by pixel that it would be cool to see it emulate.)
