Hey messmer... my subscription just ran out so I can't actually check, but I'd say maybe videos from the last 3 months or so have combined versions.
It didn't really bother me that they were split, though. If they were passing off short clips as updates that combined into a 10-15 minute movie it would - but each part they post is 10-15 minutes and has plenty of action in it - and the whole sometimes an hour or more.
I did actually vaguely attempt stitching them together but it proved far more effort than it was worth, so I gave up!

Pros:
- Good filtering options
- Bio details for each model
- Active forum
- Interesting and varied locations
- Natural, charming girls
- Good range of ages, body types
- Plenty of unshaved models
- Great quality videos
- Good download speeds on huge files
Cons:
- Site is a bit dated, in looks and operation
- G/G and G/B are separate 'models'
- Some inconsistency in video formats
- Only recent 1080 videos streamable/previewable
- Pics have one resolution, basic slideshow
- Some picture sets too large
- Poor preview area
Bottom Line:
I'm usually into the slightly more glam side of things, but for some reason had a hankering for some amateur, real-girl type material, and perhaps just a little G/B - hardcore isn't really my thing, but occasionally I enjoy it. Having seen clips from both Girls out West and Abby Winters, it was a close call - but I opted for the former, it seems a little more raunchy and one price gets you everything here, as opposed to the different site areas at AW. I suspect the material is similar - and reading some of the comments, it looks like some models defected to GOW after AW moved production from Australia - but either way I'm not disappointed with my choice.
There is a huge amount of material here - the preview area is sadly very basic and doesn't really do justice to the site. Near-daily updates going back to 2004 results in around 1400 videos and 1200 picture sets from about 600 models/pairs; and very roughly I'd say a 40/40/20 spit between Solo/GG/GB. The site is a bit retro-looking, and could do with a facelift; but is still easy to navigate and with good filtering options. There are separate lists of updates for videos and pictures; videos can be further split into Solo/GG/GB material. Models can be browsed by name or recency; and filtered by various options such as figure/broad age range/ethnicity/level of action/hair colour.
Once you open a model's page, we have the standard list of sets and videos; usually with bio details, and a mini-interview which is generally fun to read. One minor quibble is that GG and GB material is treated as a separate model - eg Evie is one model, then Evie & Kara another... so when looking at Kara's solo material there's no obvious link back to some of her GG material. Most models are in the 18-30 age range, with a few older; and have various looks/body types but all are real, natural girls - many unshaved, which is my preference - and mostly Australian, with a few US/European girls too.
The videos are probably the main draw here. The more recent ones, from the last two years or so, are in 1080; then 720 & DVD for the two years before that, and smaller going back to 2004. And there's some really great material - the videos range from interviews and behind-the-scenes, to stripping, dancing, toy play, and hardcore action, and are pin sharp with good direction and camerawork. Sometimes there's a premise or plot; suitably daft, but it just makes things more fun. The locations are varied and interesting; some in models' own (I guess?) rooms and places; and quite a lot outdoor - some in the great outdoors, others in risqué public places and abandoned urban buildings. Most feature the models talking; either chatting, talking dirty, or playing out the scenario - these are real girls and it makes the videos a lot more fun and interesting to hear them and let their personality show through.
It's worth noting that most video come in anywhere between 2 and 7 parts, but that's not really an issue; each part is a good 10-15 minutes long and good in it's own right; they've recently started adding combined videos at the end for those of us that don't mind downloading a massive 3-4gb video lasting an hour or so.
There are almost as many picture sets too; although strangely - since I generally prefer pics to videos - they didn't work quite as well for me. Many of them seemed a little too posed, the models a little-self conscious; the natural, easygoing charm and personality of the girls is the star of this site and for me, it shows bettter in the videos than the pictures. I also found some of the sets a bit too gynaecological, and some too large - a gallery of 150 or 200+ pictures really needs editing down, I think. Still, these are quite personal opinions and despite them, I still found plenty of sets I liked.
The picture setup is fairly basic, recent pics are 2K, and opening a gallery takes you to a simple slideshow where you can download the zip or click on a thumbnail to take you to the full-size image - fine for me, but some folk prefer different resolutions.
Overall this is a great site, with a huge amount of fun, original, raunchy material featuring really lovely girls; they may be amateur but the quality of the work is anything but. I've got a lot of great material and I'll probably go back to something more glam next - and I may try AW sometime - but suspect I'll be back here.
bibo, thanks for the reply, appreciated. I like the subjective views we see here but entirely understand wanting to stick to the facts!
And thanks for confirming my suspicions, that GOW is a bit raunchier than AW; I also like that it has some more b/g scenes; hardcore generally isn't my thing but I like a little when it's fun and genuine.
Any reason you didn't add a review with a score? Anyway, thanks for your views, this site is on my to-join list. What do you feel is better here over Abby Winters?
I'm keen to join this site sometime too - seems a little racier than Abby Winters - but their preview area is a bit lacking, it would be good if non-members could see lists of sets/videos/updates, which would more than answer your query. (Which I apologise for not doing!)
thenude.eu is a great resource for model info, especially when confused by the spurious ages that pretty much every site puts up. A quick search finds a model profile here http://www.thenude.eu/Avril_A_5073.htm - with a few links to her at other sites - she may be back at Erotic Beauty?
If you like WBA, you should also check out The Life Erotic - it's his work too, but I think featuring racier midcore material. I guess you might see some of the same models on there?
Interestingly, it also seems to be part of Met Art; it would seem that the more straightfoward nude material at WBA would fit better?
As others have said, welcome thanks for a good review!
A shame too about the site - it was also one I was tempted by. I like Japanese girls but not so much the nature of their hardcore porn, or the censorship in the hard and the soft. I'd prefer that the naughty bits be implied rather than blurred, and they seem to do that well at Graphis - but the negatives are too strong to warrant a join. The search continues, I guess!
Cap'n, sorry for asking you to cast your mind back... while you were enrolled here, did you ever figure out the points system?
I'm generally not into gravure - the girls are lovely, but I find it all a bit wholesome for my liking - smiling girls in flowery bikinis and the like ;)
But I found one section of this site - 'feti style' - that really appeals to me. But since it's the main area of interest, I'm not sure if I'd subscribe if a large chunk of it isn't available on an initial subscription. Is the point-blocking across all sets?
Anyway don't worry if it escapes you, it all seems a bit bizarre...
Agree - uncensored Japanese softcore is something of a rare item, so this site is worth watching. The photography seems good, and interesting; you liken it to Metart, but hopefully it will be a bit more erotic. First glance suggests the models are a bit too young-looking and the themes a bit too cutesy to be alluring to me; but I''m willing to be convinced!
As you say, this seems to be another in the heartcore genre; what I don't get is that Manwin already have Babes Network, which seems very similar; it has quite a bit of material now and I don't see what delineates this site from it. Babes is far more likely to be my next hardcore join...
I third that - and also, although I've never joined, this confirms what I figured about the content at Hegre Art - I generally like softcore but it seems a bit lacking in eroticism. If you're after something just a bit more erotic, my favourite sites are probably Breath Takers and Petites Parisiennes, which are both worth a look.
I have mixed views on the style of Hegre Art - although technically good, I find it a little bland. But for the resolution fiends, I notice that in the past few months, sets are available at 80 megapixels. A closeup would probably reveal more detail than you could see with your own eyes!
Great to see this is now integrated - it's a bit more glam than I usually like, but I am fond of Ms Randalls's work and she features many models I like.
The site also looks good now, and as a subscriber to TLE, I shall be taking advantage of the $10 price sometime soon!
This site is currently not accepting new members - presumably in preparation for the switch to being managed by Met Art? I'm hoping that's soon - I'm quite a fan and as I am a long-term member at TLE, I can join any other network site for $10 :)
Interestingly, Holly's other sites, like Holly Core and Forever Vamp are still taking members - there is some overlap in the material here with her main site so I wonder what is/isn't happening with these?
Interesting news indeed! I've been a member of her site before, and whereas it's more glam-porn-y than my usual taste, I do have a fondness for it. Seems Met Art are definitely branching out into more racy material... which can only be a good thing IMHO, given the banality (purely subjective!) of the main site.
Aha - I was a member at Holly Randall a while back (will likely join again sometime) and remember that model. I find thenude.eu invaluable; a quick search there shows a few other sites you can find her:
Agreed Holly Randall's stuff is great - I also like the solo material, but I do like the odd dash of hardcore and hers works for me very well. Doesn't hurt that some of my favourite models turn up on there too - Mosh, Ryan Keely, Jade Vixen, Aria Giovanni.
You may want to check out Stagg Street - many of the same models are there, but Ellen Stagg's style is very different, and although the site isn't as good, I slightly prefer it.
I'm not really into hardcore, but occasionally it's fun to look at some - and it seems that when those occasions arise, the videos I downloaded from here are where I turn to. They are more well-balanced between the actors and although the style is very glam, they still seem like two people genuinely enjoying having sex. I shouldn't make a generalisation, but perhaps it's down to a female photographer?
I'll probably join again sometime, but does anyone know any other sites with similarly respectful, yet raunchy, boy/girl material?
