Photon is an advanced game launcher and the product of many years hard work by Thomas Preece. It focuses on making your game collection look amazing and is designed to automate the process of downloading game art, game info, official patches, cheats, manuals and walkthroughs. It also has many gaming related features to make your life easier and to get the most out of your games.

Photon has 3 main parts. The first is a advanced configuration app that manages your game collection and features automated game searching and automatic Steam and Game Explorer import functions. The second is an immersive full-screen interface that really makes your game collection look beautiful. The final part is a windowed interface that was designed as a replacement for Windows Games Explorer but ended up being vastly superior to Games Explorer and equally as stunning as the full-screen interface.
