I guess it depends on the look your going for i use CS2 mostly to make screenshots look a bit more photographic.

Photoshop`s diffuse glow filter can add a certain something (filters>distort>diffuse glow) + adding grain and using a sharpen filter can also improve the look of a screenie.
Auto-levels can also improve the overall appearance of a pic.
You can add lens flare too, just dont make it too bright or it`ll look rubbish! (filters>render>lens flare)
+you can always desaturete the image to get that b&w look.

++ The obvious one, before you even take the screenshot, make sure your settings are at their max, ie at least 4x AA and 16xAF (in your vid cards control panel)

A few of my shots:
