Today's site is called College Wild Parties, and for some reason the name doesn't roll off my tongue very well. Wild college parties sounds better, but that's not what we're looking at here now is it. I went to college and some wild parties there, but none of them were like this... fuckers! Right off the bat this site is off to a not-so-good start unfortunately with their pricing. The trial only gives you limited access, and the monthly fee is an astounding $40 a month which is just way too high for any site.
Thankfully your membership does get you access to their network called Discount Reality Sites, so all is not lost. This site may look a little familiar, as all their sites have a similar look and feel to them (for me at least).
Another thing this company does is package up their content and sell it to other sites, so you may have seen this before. Looking at the exclusive content they have here, there are only 19 episodes up right now. That's a bit small for any site, let alone one that charges $40 a month to get in. Updates come once a week, and they show you which ones are coming up next, but they only started the site in March, 2005, so it hasn't had a big chance to grow yet.
Pictures are offered for each episode, but they're simply vidcaps so no big deal there. The videos they have come in Windows Media Video (in two size options, kind of), and Quicktime. Within those options are three choices for quality settings. The two sizes for WMV files are actually the same video, but since they all only play in your browser they decided to offer you a stretched version as well. 320x240 and 500kbps are the standard specs, so videos look okay but nothing too great. You also have to go through a few clips to see it all, but at least you don't have to wait for the whole thing to load to jump to the action.
The action isn't bad, as they capture the college party scene pretty well. Eventually someone (or a lot of someones) will end up fucking, and that's where the fun is. At least it's not the same old pizza guy porno from years back.
I want to like this site, but both the smaller size and high price would hurt it a lot on their own. When it has both problems combined, it's a real tough sell. Another big bummer is that the videos just stream in your browser, and can't be downloaded. If one or two of these are fixed, we'll be in a better position. But to get the site a much better score, at least the price and quantity would have to improve quite a bit to even be considered. It's too bad, really. If you're in the mood for some fun party/sex content, it's worth a look, but you have to have some cash to burn.

Review: 05-03-07 |
Holy growth-spurt Batman! They've quintupled the amount of content here since we last visited, which is definitely a good thing. In even better news, they've started offering downloadable (almost) HD videos for their last couple updates, which is a big step forward. It's only the last few updates though, and their old collection of streaming videos still dominates, but I still welcome the change. Once these new videos have become a bigger majority of the site, they'll be doing even that much better.
Score increased from 73.3 to 76.0.
