| 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.
Avoid. |

| 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. |
