10 seconds on the website to determine there's a free version and a paid
version, and the paid version is $37. Either you have a different
definition of "rather expensive" for software, or the price has dropped
significantly.

Sounds like you want to do it with free software for now:
Get the free version of fraps (sorry have no experience with
alternatives as I have the paid version of fraps and it works extremely
well), avisynth and xvid4psp. I assume you have something to record
video from your webcam and audio from your microphone.
avisynth is the POV of the video editing world, once you have the video
files taken from your game and from your webcam you can write a simple
avisynth script to resize and overlay them and mix the audio levels.
List of built-in functions here (will give you some idea what is
possible with avisynth):
http://avisynth.nl/index.php/Internal_filters
Avisynth scripts (they are just text files with .avs extension) can be
played in a normal media player, but obviously you will want to convert
them to a more standard single-file video format. If you don't want to
get involved with command line encoder options then xvid4psp is easy to
use with a good GUI and plenty of presets for common formats. This is
the only free converter I found that could reliably create video files
the PS3 could play at 1080p, IIRC it has YouTube presets.
You could even use POV if you wanted more complex visual effects.
avisynth will write out all the individual frames of a video to a
folder, and do it the other way round too.

Thanks for the suggestions, but I don't need video editing software.
I want something that I can use to capture videogame footage in real-time,
possibly with a voiceover.

You will if you want to add a voiceover or do a secondary stream (eg
from webcam) - it's extremely unlikely the game capture software will do
this for you.

What I mean is that video editing is not the problem. Getting the source
material in the first place is.

Sorry my misunderstanding then, I thought you meant you had no idea how
they were creating the video, not just the screen capture bit.

I've got a free account with Livestream that lets you dump a portion of
your screen (up to and including the whole area) to a video file (while
also streaming it), which I've used to record some running-around in
Skyrim. It also has a paid version, and from what I recall the free
account wasn't the most straightforward thing to set-up, so caveat emptor.
