Our site today is called Real Couples, and supposedly features couples from the UK in high-quality videos. The one thing that confused me right off the bat was giving the names of possible porn stars on the main page. I don't know enough about specific porn stars to know if these girls are well-known or amateurs, but it's weird that they'd give names if these are really "real couples."
I believe the site is made by the people who did One Man Banned, which we reviewed a while back. It's actually a very simple site, with not much clutter in the way of the content. It's slightly expensive at $25 a month, but nothing too horrible. Once you login to their "memberz" section (sorry, just making fun of the URL), all you really have to do is check out the episodes. Down towards the bottom are some links to extra stuff of theirs.
My first complaint is that there are no dates in the member's area. They also don't have a huge member's section, with only about 25 scenes up right now. Thankfully they have both pictures and videos, compared to other sites with videos only, but the pictures here are nothing to write home about (on a side note, does anyone actually write home to tell mom about the porn?). Some of them look downright horrible, but others look closer to average picture quality for these type of sites. The size ranges from 800x600 to 1024x768. It's too bad they're not more consistent, because if they were all like their best galleries they'd be cool.
The videos are all in Windows Media format in two quality options. The lower quality one is divided up into a lot of clips, and runs at 360x288 at 220kbps. The high-quality one is the same size, but 700kbps encoding. The quality is pretty good here, and it can be watched full screen without too many problems. Also, most scenes have a behind the scenes diary you can read about what went on during the shoot.
This is looking to be a short review, but there's really not a lot to see. The extras are decent in the One Eyed Jack archives and Amateur Hardcore photos, plus the Homemade movies link towards the bottom. You also get access to the Amateur Camz feeds. Their own content is just lacking a bit in quantity, which is what hurts the site the most.
For $25 a month, I expect a decent influx of exclusive content. Here, there's no dates listed at all, so I have no idea how often they update. I don't even know when the site opened to attempt a guess. With only 25 scenes up, the site better be brand new if you ask me. The quality of the videos is decent, and at least they're a decent length. But with such a small site, I can't imagine spending much time around here for now. If the content was real unique, it'd even be better that way. For now, I'd say it's not for me.

Review: 12-01-05 |
Well, things look pretty similar here as they did last time from what I remember. Thankfully the site has grown a bit to include almost 55 videos now. It's still not huge, but definitely better than it was last time. That puts updates up about once every other week which is a bit slow for my liking. Otherwise, as I said much is the same. The content is all still exclusive, and comes in the same specs. I checked out a few videos today and don't think the quality lives up to my hype from last time, or at least my standards have gotten stricter with today's hot-looking videos we see. Overall, it's okay here, but the slow updates really kill them the most.
Score decreased from 76.1 to 74.5.
