We've got another huge site to look at today. This one is brought to you by the folks that bring you Score Magazine every month. The website is ScoreLand.com, and the word of the day (year, and century) is boobs! They seem to focus on extremely large-breasted women. I'm not too familiar with their magazines, but their website definitely has a mainstream, corporate feel to it. It reminds me quite a bit of some of the other magazine's sites, such as Hustler.
Logging in, you're presented with so much stuff you don't really know where to go. There's words, thumbnails, magazine covers, links, and buttons all over the place. The magazines link caught my eye, which takes you to a link with all 12 of the magazines they publish. From there you can get access to the photosets from current and past month's issues. With back issues going back several years, this leads to a ton of content just from this section alone. At first I couldn't find the photosets, but at the top of the page they put little faces in an oval, click those and you'll find what you're looking for.
The picture sets are usually small, standard magazine stuff in that regard. Some galleries will have a secondary "strip" set that adds more photos making it a full gallery. The photos online were small, not surprisingly, and ranged in quality quite a bit as well. Some of the smaller magazines feature very amateur looking stuff, almost like I shot it myself. The biggest ones feature better photography, but across the board I found pics of 600x400 to be the norm for their online galleries. Somehow, though, they decided to offer zip downloads of each set as well, which provides for much larger, and better-looking pictures. There are two zips for each set, one with 800x600 pics, and the other with 1600x1200 pics (!!). I have no idea why they don't provide the option to view these pics on the site, as it'd be a huge benefit to surfers, and unfortunately they'll probably be scored a little lower because of it.
Depending on which video you're watching, there's tons of options they give you for download types. Some are just in Real Video format (which I didn't like too much), while others have the option of a low and high Quicktime, a Windows Media, AND an MPG. The Windows Media was 640x480 encoded around 700kbps, but didn't look as good as the MPG version at 320x240 for some reason. The Quicktime was fine, but I don't like the sound on them (plus they're played in your browser, so you can't enlarge them). With all the magazines, and all the past issues, there's quite a few videos around. Although it's not organized well at times (hard to find them, and hard to tell if you have to pay extra for them), they're there for sure.
They also have a lot of the rest of the extras online that you'll find in their magazines. They have quite a few articles, fiction, humor, etc. available to read. There's also the store where you can order past issues, videos, specials, and subscriptions.
Overall, they just have a ton of material. At $30, it's not cheap though, but you probably won't be finding this stuff elsewhere on the net. I personally enjoyed the Playboy site a little more, especially since it doesn't cost as much. But here, they do give you years worth of magazines online to browse though, which could keep you busy for a really long time. I wish the photos were displayed online a little bigger, because the pain of downloading them is a bit much. At least they're available though, so you have the option. This one's a judgement call, it could go either way. I think it's a very decent site, but I think personally I wouldn't stay very long. If things felt a bit more up-to-date on their website, I might feel better about their online presence. For now though, it seems like the website is the same it was a few years ago when it first opened (with the addition of the newer magazine issues). We'll take another look hopefully, and I'll be interested to see what's new.

With a site so big, it's pretty tough to see if they've changed anything right away here. I can say that they've been faithfully updating, and all their magazine options are current and ready to be jacked to still. The content is much the same as it was before, and they still make you download a zip to see the large files. Surprisingly, even new photos have a dated feel to them to me for some reason.
Otherwise, there's not much to say on this one. I kinda wish we had seen some kind of update to the site, with a new look and better navigation for getting around. But in the end, there's still a lot to see, and if you liked it before, you'll probably still like it now.
Score decreased from 86.0 to 85.5.

Big boobs continue to abound at Scoreland, but not a ton has really changed around here. The site is larger of course, as the daily updates continue to roll in. Otherwise, the content and layout are identical to how we left it last time we took a peek here. I think it's time for a few of the negatives here to be dealt with soon honestly, but what they have now does work too. It's just been a long while since anything new was introduced, and sometimes people (like me at least) can get bored when things get stagnant. What they have is still decent, but there's always room for improvement.
Score remains at 85.5.
