Pros:
- Some decent resolution photos with the video sets.
- Even better, photo sets in zip files for the ones I checked.
- Seems large-ish for an Open Life Network site.
Cons:
- Access/uptime is spotty. "Error 521 web server is down".
- Lots of filler behind-the-scenes/masturbation type clips.
- "Large" for an Open Life Network site still only means 50 or so videos.
- Crappy video resolution on the few samples I checked.
Bottom Line:
This seems like one of the larger Open Life sites. Don't misunderstand and think that's a recommendation or that this is some great, huge thing that deserves your money. Just that, when compared to the other tiny cash grab sites on their network, this one seems like a larger one.
I found the site down a couple of times. Not a huge deal, but also not something you like to see as a paying customer.
The worst part of the site is the low resolution videos. This appears to be a common problem with most, if not all, Open Life Network sites, and part of the reason I found it appropriate to review each individually. Someone joining Hannah Hilton might not check the broad network review, much less Ashley Fires, Abbey Brooks, etc., to know that each site is almost complete crap. Hannah Hilton is no different. There are some photos, and some decent photos, but the majority of the videos are borderline unwatchable. Maximum 360p clips are definitely unacceptable on a paysite in 2017, and of the three samples I grabbed (random video from page one, random one from middle of page list, and random video from last page), all of them were 360p. So yes, there are quite a few videos of the lovely Ms. Hilton available, but none are worth the time or effort to watch unless you're a HUGE fan or just like video quality from around 1998 or so.
There are ads on the site behind the paywall, but you discover you don't care because there's not really much to keep you coming back to the site, anyway.
There are quite a few photos sets, and the ones I saw had zip files available for downloading. That's nice, but it's not enough to justify spending any money or time at the site.
That's probably the ultimate bottom line, now that I think about it. I usually try to type out a summary, but I think that's it. Some good photo sets, but not worth the price of admission.

Pros:
- The actress' name is associated with a website.
- Photos are available for viewing for some of the corresponding videos.
- Not all of the dozen videos are "behind the scenes" or interview filler clips.
- No download limits that I encountered, but the entire site's total content is probably under 5GB (I'd wager closer to 2) so how would there be?
Cons:
- It will take you just about the same amount of time to read this review as it would to scroll through the entire website.
- Website won't load at times.
- Photos, but no photo zips that I could find.
- The photos are sometimes just screenshots of the low-res video.
- The videos are low-res 360p clips that aren't worth watching.
- It appears that they haven't updated in years.
Bottom Line:
I really don't see the point of this site. I'm not just saying that, either. I truly, honestly, 100% don't see why someone would go through any time and trouble to make a site that has a handful of clips, a few photos that you have to individually click, wait for the script to pull up, and then click a few more times to download if you have any interest, and little to nothing more. I especially don't understand it when it's... Okay, okay. That's not entirely true. I understand that it seems to be little more than a blatant cash grab and exists in the hope that there are a few suckers out there who might want to have all of Abbey Brooks' material, and that one of those suckers might spend the money joining the site for one month. Either that or it's just crappy padding for a similarly overall horrible network. Take your pick.
According to IAFD, Ms. Brooks is still working and has nearly 200 movies to her name. That doesn't count photos shoots, and I'm sure she's got well over 100 of those in her past, too.
So, If I had to guess, I'd guess that a studio/site bought up the name and owned a few licensed clips of the actress. There ARE some clips the studio owns of said actress, so it's presented as the actress' website.
The dozen or so video clips are stated as being 360p. It's probably technically correct, but I've seen 360p clips elsewhere that, while not great, are still fairly watchable. For simplicity's sake just think of a low-res tube site or a crappy gif flashing in an advertisement. That's essentially what you can expect for video quality of most of the clips here.
If that's too crisp and wonderful for you, there is a lower quality option as well.
Photos exist, but I never saw a link for zip files. If you like a set, be prepared to click through each image individually to allow it to load so that you can choose "save as" for every one you want. It looked like the photos were often just screenshots, too.
On the bright side, I didn't run into any download limits when downloading the three videos that looked worthwhile. They weren't, btw. The video quality was borderline unwatchable once I tried to watch them, although in fairness I knew it said 360p when I clicked to download them. Nonetheless, I didn't encounter any download limits when downloading the 300-500MB worth of clips.
Bottom line: It's an almost uniquely lousy site. It's either a cynical money-grab or filler for a network of similar cynical money-grab sites. It's the first site I've come across in a long, long time that deserves a score much lower than 50, and I only gave it the extra point so that it wouldn't be viewed as some knee-jerk score out of spite. That single point is there to show that some thought went into why this site is so bad. Frankly, the site shouldn't even exist. The unwatchable clips could easily be part of one of the studio's other sites as some sort of worthless "bonus" content that no one intentionally clicks on.

Pros:
This site offers very little for your money, and has gotten worse rather than better over the years. It is actually the bare minimum to avoid being called an overt scam, but I feel scammed nonetheless by paying a regular price for such poor content.
-8 photosets
-13 videos Abbey Brooks is a hot model, but her site has been decimated by poor ownership over the years.
Cons:
This site has been nothing but a disappointment and a waste of money.
AbbeyBrooks.com may have been great under it's original ownership, but I will never know for sure. What I can say is that, with 8 photosets and 13 videos, this site gives the bare minimum to say that they gave you something in exchange for your money. What bothers me even more is that this site seems like it once had tons of content, but removed almost all of it when it was acquired by new owners.
Bottom Line:
If you go to the TGP pichunter.com you can find hundreds of promotional galleries posted by AbbeyBrooks.com under it's original owners. It is ironic that now, the amount of promotional content available from this site's heyday is orders of magnitude greater than the amount of content available in the member's section.
I am incredibly disappointed with this site, especially since it has suffered a near-total loss of content in it's member's section. This poor upkeep is made all the more shocking by who the site's new owners are. Supposedly it is part of the "OpenLife Network." However, if you scroll to the bottom of the page, you will see that "AbbeyBrooks.com is a site of Gamma Entertainment and its subsidiary Chargepay B.V."
Yes, this is the same company Gamma Entertainment that owns the DDF Network. How could they take such bad care of this site?
I contacted Gamma Support to ask about it. I also told Gamma Support that I would be reviewing the site, so if Gamma sees these comments here, it should not come as a surprise. I basically said, I'm a paying member, I saw a promotional shoot on a TGP that wasn't available on your site anymore, would you be able to send me a full copy? The shoot that I was interested in was the only promo shoot that featured her peeing. Not sure if it was the only peeing shoot she ever did. Anyway, the response that I received from Gamma Support was "we do not currently feature that type of content on our sites."
Oh, really. I pointed out that Gamma owns DDF which produces some of the best peeing shoots online, and I received no reply. I know DDF reads this forum, so if you happen to see this, then know that this was totally remediable if not avoidable, if support had just even replied to my second email. I said up front that I would be reviewing the site, so what did you expect?
This touches on another issue relating to Gamma Entertainment and their ownership of the DDF Network. I hate to digress from AbbeyBrooks.com, and I hate to slam a network that touches on greatness, but I was told by DDF that certain major issues would be resolved in October. I have not brought attention to these issues yet here, and they seem to have been unnoticed so far, but I am losing hope that anything will ever be done.
I really hope that someone from OpenLife or Gamma can reply here. Please explain why you have reduced a site with many hundreds of shoots to 8 photosets and 13 videos. When marcdc1 reviewed the site in 2012 it had 36 photosets and 13 videos, and it had gone backwards since then. Before OpenLife acquired the site, it had hundreds of shoots. Also, the newtork of 15 sites included with membership in 2012 has shrunk to 8.
I don't know what is more troubling, that Gamma has done this to AbbeyBrooks.com, or that they own DDF, and some of the great porn there could likewise be lost some day, perhaps not too far from today.

Pros:
- Abbey is hot and "has some meat on her bones", while not a chucky girl, it's nice to see someone who isn't rail thin.
- 15 site network included -although I'm learning most of those sites are no longer updated :(. Still there enough good stuff in the back catalog to keep you very busy.
- Dylan Ryder (active), Ashley Fires (active), Aallyah Love (active), Bruno B, Hanna Hilton, Devon Lee, Puma Swede and others are part of network.
- Several download options including iPhone, WMV, MOV, PSP, and viewable in flash.
- Well shot. Cameras are good, lighting and directing is professional.
- Guest stars (Kelly Devine, August, Richelle Ryan and others)
- Big boobs (enhanced, I think)
Cons:
- No longer updated (last update was January of 2010! Most of the network is no longer updating (plenty of back catalog, but sad that only 3-4 sites still update)
- Small site:
36 image sets (about 125 pix/set)
13 videos
- Content is no larger than 640X480 3mbps.
- Ads in members' site (I know some find this highly objectionably - I myself don't really care)
- Live shows not archived (says they are, but I can't make it work).
- Organization can be clunky, but there's not that much here that you're likely to get lost anyway :(. There are broad categories like hardcore, Girl/Girl, Solo.
-
Bottom Line:
After writing so unfavorably about another site on this network I felt compelled to write a review about a site I was happier with.
It's an average site that needed more updates. Abbey is nice, but I really need to see more of her. It's a shame this site is so small. It's nice that for the money there's a wide network that makes the site a good investment - cause if this was all you got for $30 you'd rightfully be disappointed.
More Girls/Girl and not enough Male/Female for my tastes
Bottom Bottom Line:
Abbey's great. Hot girl, nice shoots, but in the end this site is the embodiment of "average." Abbey doesn't look that different from other girls doing porn. She's not bad at acting, but she's not exceptional either.
The site is nice but small. When you have access to the network you could look through this site in a morning and then see what else is available.

Pros:
I'm a push-over when it comes to reviews and I'm having a hard time focusing on the good. Be aware other reviewers may have scored lower then my rating.
- Super hot girl. Early 20s(?), big boobs (enhanced I'm guessing), slight frame. Truly what an angel would look like.
- Multiple formats (wmv, flash, iOS, PSP, mp4, mpeg)
- zip downloads for pix usually over 100 pix in a set.
- Includes network of about 15 girls including: Dylan Ryder (active), Ashley Fires (active), Abbey Brooks (inactive), Sweet Lea Luv (inactive), Tara Lynn Foxx (inactive), Puma Swede (inactive))
Cons:
- No longer updating and hasn't since July 2010!
- There's no personality here. What gets Hanna off? What's her fantasy or which scenes does she get into? None of this is shown by the way she carries herself in these shoots.
- While some video is available in large file formats There are very few vids in 1280X720 5 mps, most is 640X480 2 mps. Most videos are 640X480 1mbps.
- About 55 movies - too many are Behind the Scenes for my tastes (almost 1/8 are BTS)
- About 77 images sets
- Ads in member site (I don't care - but some object
- There's a link for cam archives, but I can't find anything for Hanna
- Only 4 M/F shoots. Most are solo and girl/girl.
Bottom Line:
To me this site was a bore. While there's a rare gem or two there's only one or two. Many of the solo shoots are her being photographed while we hear the director telling her what to do (yawn) or a sexy panning of her with music playing instead of hearing her soft moans (I hate that).
I had such high hopes for Hanna, she is smokin' hot! But I'm a big fan of dirty talking girls and "oh god," and "fuck ya" just don't cut it. It seems like the few M/F shoots were from the very start of her career, hopefully she finds her comfort zone and puts more of who she is into her videos.
I know I'll be asked about anal so here's her response when a fan asked her (back in 2010)
asks: Do you like anal sex ? you have any plans doing an anal scene soon ? :)?
Hanna Says: No way
The Bottom Line:
Skip this site. If you're a fan of Hanna Hilton's pictures and you're looking to find those in 1 spot - this is a fine site. If you're interested in a best of Hanna, this is not the place to find that.
I always find something I like to download to my HD for later :), this time I downloaded NOTHING. Hanna's great - but this site needs her personality and (in my opinion) much more boy/girl shoots.
