I agree it is somewhat of a heartcore site, but I think the best example of that genre would be X-Art, at least in my opinion. This site still has some typical euro porn elements, but I would still clasify it as heartcore, just not the prototypical heartcore site.
Either way, I don't think it is a site you would enjoy, being well aware of what you are looking for in a site.
I don't really mind it, it is what it is, and it seems to me like the women in censored vids are typically more attractive (although I am by no means a japanese porn aficianado).
There was a forum thread a couple of years ago on what to include in a good review, I usually just follow that as a guideline. I'll try and search for it and bump it to the top of the forum posts. It has been very helpful for me. From my perspective on this site, I find it more important to be subjective rather than objective. I don't pretend to be a good reviewer, thus all I can voice is my opinions (along with some useful facts).
I don't really like the subtext of the statement "talent can talk?", but I have no problems joining sites that speak different languages. Lovely ladies live all over the world.

Pros:
-very attractive euro ladies
-decent variety of hardcore, softcore, and lesbian material
-videos are good quality, most up to full HD
-photos are of technically high quality, maximum resolution is 5600 long end, also available in 1000, 2000, and 4000 on most sets.
-multiple video download options, most have 1080p wmv and 1080, 720, 480 and 360 mp4. I typically downloaded the 720p video, as it was good enough for me (720p mp4 is about 3000 kbps and reasonably crisp).
-zip downloads of photosets, custom zips available
-download managers work, I used DTA
-download speeds are good, maxed my 15 Mb connection
-login timeouts are long, I don’t recall ever timing out
-decent price now, at $19.99
-respectable biller, I had ccbill
-updates with decent frequency, about 7 per week, the current photoset to video ratio on the site is 1.8:1, seems typical based on recent history
Cons:
-smallish site, 142 videos and 252 photos at time of review. 47 total models.
-no bonus material
-little variety in model type, model ethnicity, the vast majority of the models are of the thin or athletic body types, and almost all are white. Not a good site to join if you are looking for curvier models, or a good mix of model ethnicities.
Bottom Line:
Overall I think this is a very good site. I like the variety of hardcore and softcore, the camerawork on the videos is generally acceptable, although not the best. The material is pretty typical of euro sites these days, although production values are probably slightly higher, average model quality is certainly better, and there appears to be some attempt to make the scenes slightly more ‘erotic’. Like many euro sites, the main drawback is the focus is almost always on young, skinny, white girls. This is mostly fine with me, although I wouldn’t mind a little more variety from the site. If you are a fan of large breasts, this is definitely not the site for you, nor is it likely a good site for you if you prefer models with more curves.
It would be nice if this site were merged with the other Deisel media sties, as it uses the exact same interface, pretty much all of the same models, I am not really sure why it isn’t just a part of the network. But I guess it is intended to be a standalone competitor to the likes of orgasms.xxx and x-art, as it certainly has similar themes. The breakdown of material (for videos) is 48 hardcore (11 anal), 31 lesbian, and the remaining 63 videos a mix of softcore and midcore, mostly midcore (toy use and masturbation). These ratios look about the same for photosets.
I enjoyed this site more than I expected to, I figured it would more or less be a clone of sorts of the other Deisel sites that for some reason was split of as a standalone. However, it is a bit more unique, I suppose, than the other Deisel sites. The model quality is definitely top notch (if you are into the skinny athletic girls), and the material has a bit more erotic flair. There isn’t any of that annoying self-shot or POV stuff that appears on many of the other Deisel sites.
Generally, I think it is an excellent site if this is the type of material that you are interested in. It has a softer edge than most euro sites, and I definitely appreciate this style of material. I have grown very tired of gonzo-style sites. The main drawbacks being that it is a newer site, and thus a bit on the small side, and one should not expect a lot of diversity from this site (nor any of the Deisel sites).
Nice review elephant, agree with all your points. I also think this an excellent site. I agree with others points that the models are quite common, but somehow I always think they look better here for some reason. There are a few that I didn't even realize were the same models I already had gotten elsewhere until I looked on EBI.
Well, that's still more than me, I only have about 3TB of total space, and at least 1TB is taken up with music, movies, and TV shows. I also much prefer the smaller videos, 1 or 2 GB is just too much of a hassle, even if the quality is better.
Zips are pretty much required for me, I don't have the time to go through it all otherwise, and I have found most of the image grabbing plugins pretty hit-and-miss.
I totally agree with you, I really enjoy Wicked content, although the site itself (navigation, etc) wasn't all that great the last time I was there, and their preview blows. But still, one of the few sites I join yearly.
There are a few anal scenes on X-Art, but they tend to get a lot of people complaining about them in the comments, so I don't know that they will do many. The only ones I have are with Caprice and Kristen, but there may be more. It is sort of difficult to search for these types of niches there.
I'm sure perfomance of your machine can make a difference, although I was merely just joking since you said 200-300 GB (gigabytes) for a video, which is freaking HUGE! Sorry if my attempt at humor in pointing out your typo was not so obvious - I just thought it was funny for some reason. 200-300 MB for a 10 minute or so HD video can be pretty good if the encoding is well done. I wish more sites did this, as I absolutely hate downloading videos that are like 2 GB, it is just such a nuisance. Even though space is cheap these days, I'd still much prefer to get more on less.
I'm with RustyJ, how it is shot is all that matters to me, if it some crazy super-close up I don't really like either, but framed well, particularly with their entire bodies and not closeups, I like both just fine.
Agree with Rusty, I have never been one to demand my money back for anything entertainment related regardless of how crappy it is, PU has definitely been helpful in avoiding this crap.
Thanks for the info, exotics. That bitrate is sort of low, even for h.264 for full HD, but I'll trust your opinion if you say it is crisp. I still don't understand why sites brag about native resolution, as it doesn't really matter - it is the bitrate that matters.
I certainly hope the file sizes aren't 200 GB with that bitrate ;) or something funny is going on. I do agree it is a shame that the sites that try to be more 'erotic' tend to have very short videos. Not really sure why that is, and I guess in this case didn't do so well on the erotic side of things either way.
I know you guys all have raid arrays and crazy hard drive space, but 200-300 GB certainly isn't small to me (I know its a typo).
X-Art and orgasms.xxx both also have relatively small files, although the full HD ones are typically 400-600 depending on length. Are they crisp, what bitrate and codec are they using?
For some sites on CCBill, if you look up the subscription they will list the UN/password if you click on the "subscription ID" link. I'm not sure if the site you joined does this but it is worth a try, I am assuming you know the email address and credit card no. you used, right (to check on CCBill)? Worth a shot, although I assume they were telling you the truth when they said they don't have it.
I think there is a fair amount of diversity in porn, but I wouldn't mind if some of the larger sites got more diverse internally. I pretty much agree with what tangub said, I like a nice variety of women, it would be nice if you didn't have to join 5 different sites to get them.
I'm with gayporn on this, I don't think I have ever known a models height, I don't often look at model bios on sites anymore as I find them to be often bullshit anyways.
