Yeah, back to the old the models are good enough to make up for the lack of technical quality. Now, some of those newer videos, like Emy Reyes, those are I think 640-720 high end res and look pretty good, not HD, but they aren't terrible and they're in full scenes. The ones that frustrated me was Wendy, who is one of my favorites on ATK Exotics and some of her movies are split into parts. It wouldn't be so bad, but she's one of the models feature on the front member page. Still, I was in a photo mood and the full zips made up for it.
Funny coincidence, right after saying I wasn't familiar with the dime piece category, I heard a guy say, "She's a dime piece, a fine piece of female specimen". Jess is one of my favorites as well, also Emy Reyes earns the dime piece. I do like the originality of using dime piece, but I found searching through the dime pieces to be a subjective mess.
I thought the Emy collection was enough to pay for the monthly price. The photo sets they have of her are the best photos I've seen of her. In the Crack has some really good content of her as well. Especially if you haven't seen her glammed up.
Thanks Slutty, I wouldn't say it was the main reason I was joining, just saw it as icing on the cake. The scene I was mainly looking for is of a very firmly built 18 or 19 year brunette going into a sauna with a guy, while the ceiling cam caught the action. I'll find it eventually! I saw samples of it on a TGP site but don't remember any copyrights on it to lead me to the site it was on. Looking at the style of it though it looked definitely European so I guess I'll dig through more European teen sites trying to find it.
Thanks Denner, it was your review that led me to check out this site. It does look exclusive to me as well after downloading. I like the overall content of the network. I was looking for one video in particular, but I believe it's on Teen Burg, which I thought for some reason, was part of this network.
Thanks Khan, I was hoping that was what it meant. So far the content I've downloaded from it looks exclusive, outside of the poor quality of voyeur content.
In a search for site that I had never joined and that scores generally well, I found this one. One of the biggest selling points to this site for me is the site They Didn't Know which goes into voyeurism. Because I've downloaded a lot of voyeur porn over the years, the nature of the content, often poorly lit, sometimes black and white, sometimes with a green tint, it is hard to tell by looking at their preview if I have some of those scenes in my collection.
When looking at the TBP facts I see this in the exclusivity row, "All content is exclusive (Original content but not exclusive to sites.)"
I don't know what that means. The way I read that is that they produced the content, but it could be on other sites they don't own. As with most networks these days, I don't know if that just means it could be on more of their sites than one or if it could be licensed out to other sites. Just curious since it would be nice to find a collection, albeit small and not updating of new voyeur content.
There is quite a bit of anal though I couldn't put a number on it just because there's so much content. Most of the House of Taboo content has anal that I've seen, though it's sometimes women only, anal fingering/dildos, but with the other sites, in the network, I would be confident in saying 30-40% has anal in it. Especially on 1byday.

Pros:
- Amount of content of ethnic/exotic women is most likely unmatched. Tons of content.
- Site finally has full photo set zip downloads instead of the sectioned zips it had for years.
- Photos range in technical quality, newest updates are in the 2000 long end range. Also seems to vary based on photographer.
- Navigation has improved, but also has cons. Pros, the model search allows multi-step searches, will explain more in BL.
- Can't really nail down when the video quality improved, looks to be the last 2-3 years, still not HD, but the videos are at least in full scenes, DVD quality now instead of parts. See cons for the other side.
- The site is working to improve and listening to the members.
- Models still are some of the best exotic/ethnic models on the internet, especially on the black models.
Cons:
- Older videos are still split into small (20 MB) parts. I guess I'm at the point where I won't even download those anymore.
- Navigation has improved a lot, but I still don't like the way it lists models by whatever classification you put in. Will explain in BL.
- Probably not a site for video only fans as the photos are generally better than the videos.
- And with most amateur/early porn career sites, there are some really bad looking models. To each his own there, but it could be a con for some. The good looking ones far outweigh the bad ones though.
Bottom Line:
I hadn't been to this site in over 2 years. I was hoping when I joined this time there would be some positive changes and there are. The full photo set zips is worth 5 points to me. ATK sites, to me, are very good sites for photo fans because they have nice, crisp and clear photos so the full scene zip is greatly appreciated.
Navigation has been an issue in the past with this site. They have a search now that I think is on the right track. For example you can do these steps.
Select letter for the first letter in the name, I'll use A. Once you do this, you can start refining the search by then choosing age, build, height, race, breast size, pubic hair style and photographer. You don't have to pick a choice in all. If you just want Latinas and don't care about the other choices you can just search for Latinas with the letter A starting their name or you can get downright picky and pick Latinas, 21 years old, hairy, etc...
To show how this works. If I go with the letter A to start my search and click, "build" it gives me these options large, medium, thin, very thin. In comparison if I start the search with models with Z as the first letter in their name, my build choices are only medium and very slim. So it really works in that sense.
And when you pick say "medium" in Z's, it removes the models in Z's that are not medium build. This is really nice search engine, but lets say you're not real patient or don't want to go through all those steps and just want Latinas by using the quick jump feature. It takes you to a page of names with no thumbnails and it's titled like this.
Volume 194, (model names). That's not of much use at all. I'm not even for sure how the volumes are classified or if there is a method they list them in. I'm guessing it has to do with newest released sets, but it makes the quick jump pretty much useless. It's okay for me since I don't mind digging through with the search engine to find the specific type of models I like, but I still think there has to be a better way to list the models than the "Volume 194" way.
Still, as a whole, the navigation has improved a great deal. Some of the quick jump options also seem pointless though like "dime pieces" what qualifies as a dime piece?
The models will surely satisfy most fans of exotic/ethnic models, Latinas, black, Indian, Asian, Islanders, they got it covered on the models part.
Movies, while some are good, most aren't. Many of the good ones are the older ones cut into parts. I don't see me keeping a lot of these movies. The photos on the other hand will nearly all be kept. It's not often you find this many beautiful ethnic models in one place in really nice photo sets.
Overall, the site impressed me much more than I expected it to since I had become so frustrated with the part scene zips for the photos. With that fixed, improvement in the navigation and the continuing generally good looking ethnic models, I'm back to recommending it highly.
Since this network has been reviewed quite a few times recently, I'll just post a comment with some thoughts about the network.
If I were to review it the score would be somewhere around 85, give or take a few a points.
The major pluses for me are the solo sites for Silvia Saint and Tera Patrick. There are even some hardcore scenes of Tera without her ex-husband Evan Seinfeld/Spyder Jones. Those two sites alone made the network worth joining.
The Silverstone DVD site also adds value since it seems to have most of the Silverstone DVDs I downloaded years ago at Brain Pass, except these are full scenes. Two that stand out there are the boy/girl scenes of Eve Angel and Sophie Moone. The Eve Angel one in particular as I had downloaded a full scene of it from another site, may have been Videbox, that had one section of the scene removed. This is the first full scene of it I've seen and the Sophie one had previously been in 3 parts is now in full scene.
There are some negatives though. My first thought was that this is a re-branded Brain Pass Lite. Not that that is a really bad thing since Brain Pass was one of the original network sites and generally scored around 90. The video quality across the network is average, similar to Videobox or other DVD sites and what screencaps/photos I have found aren't downloadable in zips.
Making it another DVD site. The photo part probably wouldn't have been that big of a deal if not for the Tera solo site as you just can't find a lot of photos of Tera, they have some, but I gave up on the right click, save as, repeat a long time ago.
Back on the positives, lots of niche content, I've always liked the series If You Wanna Fuck My Daughter, You Have to Fuck Me. With a guy usually starting with a blowjob from the younger model while an older model supposed to be her mom catches them and joins in. They do a pretty good job of finding almost believable mother/daughter pairs.
Navigation isn't too bad either. They at least have a DVD series search that lets you focus on the series' you like best. Search by model is a pain since some scenes don't have the model's name and other times, a scene with the model's name just isn't listed on their page.
The price, Tera, Silvia, full scene Silverstone, saves it though. Is a nice fill-in site to join while deciding on other sites to join with some fairly rare content especially on the Silverstone site.
Shakira. Google image search, "Shakira Mooning" and you know another that I don't think has been mentioned, the newer, little thicker Christina Aguilera.
I was really happy to see that ATK Exotics now has full set zip files. I wanted to add this comment before re-reviewing it since the last review mentions the photo sets being only downloadable in parts. That always bothered me too. That's fixed now, so thank you ATK.
Besides fixing what I thought was their biggest flaw, they are still bringing in some of the best exotic models in the world. Emy Reyes is one of my favorites and they have 35 photo sets, nearly 5,000 photos there and 6 videos of her. Emy is fairly rare on sites. It's not too surprising to find 1-3 sets of her, so this collection is huge. Also, with the addition of the full photo set zip downloads, it's worth mentioning for the collectors, Aneta Keys has 11 photo sets on here that are very rare. I think all 11 are exclusive and these were early in her career before she got the tattoo on her hip/butt.
I'll re-review in a couple of weeks with more information as it looks like the whole site has been improved.
This has become one of my favorite sites, but I'm having a frustrating time with the staying signed in part. A few examples and how the site's quality works against the user experience.
I was downloading a couple of Emy Reyes videos. Two downloads going at a time with the browser's (Firefox) download manager. These scenes were large, one was file "assshowilikedat" which is 1.14 GB and the other was file "ohmygood" which is 1.08 GB. By the time these files were finished downloading, I clicked on the pictures to download the zip and got the message I had to be a member to see the gallery to join the site or login if already a member.
I do think they know this could be a problem since when you log back in, it takes you directly back to where you were, but because I don't download all the scenes, I have to scan across them again, open hard drive to see which I have and don't have and go from there. Also, it's not only on the largest files. Had two in the 600 MB range going and still was signed out when those finished. I'm downloading at a combined 1.7 MB/sec, so that only looks like 10-15 minutes, of no activity, before being logged out.
Is there a way to get around this? Won't really change my high opinion of the site since I have enjoyed everything I have downloaded from it, but it does seem to be a bit of a hassle.
I didn't see a reason for a review since this site is now considered free as part of the Pacino's Adventures sites, but it's still worth noting. This site, I assume, used to be a standalone solo site. Pamela Spice is the model and she's a very cute, traditional Latina model with all-natural body. There's more under those clothes than my eyes realized.
The numbers, to me, are quite impressive for a bonus site. A total of 109 videos, 68 photo sets for a total of 25.7 GB. The videos are 720x480, pictures are only 1200 long end, but are zipped.
Where the site separates itself from most solo sites are the exhibitionist scenes. This is a rough estimate when I say at least 1/4 of the scenes involve exhibitionism. If you're a fan of exhibitionism then you know what I'm talking about when I see you can "see" how much of an exhibitionist she is. She really gets into these scenes and does everything possible to at least get a nipple slip even with a bar full of people.
A few more examples of the exhibitionism. One scene has her behind the guardrail of a very busy highway, full flashing and touching herself as cars go by. One is in a bar/club and that one even has a few pantyless upskirts and boob flashing. One is in broad daylight on the front dining area of a restaurant though she doesn't get to show much since the patrons keep walking in and out. One is having a breakfast at a restaurant that includes full flashing, upskirt pulling panties over as staff members are walking around. Several in parks with people walking by. Though not really a typical exhibitionism scene, the one in the taxi is one of the best. The driver is focused and she is masturbating in the backseat complete with moans.
This ended up being my favorite of the Pacino sites and she's become my favorite of his regular models.

Pros:
- One of the highest quality technical sites on the internet. Breakdown in bottom line.
- Updates started slow in 2001, but are now coming at a rate of roughly 3 per week, includes photos and videos per update.
- Several models you won't see on many other sites and some I've never seen on other sites, the positive to that, also has most of the usual stars.
- Picture sets are zipped and can be downloaded in small or large sizes.
- Plenty of tease, plenty of masturbation and plenty of close-ups.
- Locations are usually almost as beautiful as the models.
- Models, for me, are as close to 100% downloads. Very few if any models that aren't stunningly attractive.
- Navigation is good once you get the hang of it.
- Download speed hasn't been a problem am downloading at 95% of my max speed.
Cons:
- Videos are split into parts. Almost didn't put this here in cons since there is a pattern to the splits. One may be the lead-in/tease. The next pissing. The next masturbation. The splits don't so much overlap as older split videos did.
- Video quality on older sets pales in comparison to the newer videos.
- Photo sets could be bigger. Seeing that the scenes as a whole total nearly an hour on average, anything less than 100 photos seems to be shorting the photo fans.
Bottom Line:
I thought I would try to review this site a little differently than normal. The reason being, early in the site's life the updates were sporadic and the quality was okay. They've picked up the pace quite a bit while improving the technical quality a great deal.
From March 2001 to August 5, 2007 the site had a total of only 113 updates. That's less than 2 per month. The quality on these videos tops out at 640x480 and the lower quality option is 320x240.
The photos during this time ranged from 758 high end to 1800 high end.
Starting on August 13th, 2007 the videos top quality jumped to 1920x1080, there also is a 1280x720 option and a 640x360 option.
Besides the big upgrade in quality, the updates started coming more often. Since August 2007 through November 2010, there has been 367 updates or an average of roughly 10 updates per month and all have been with the 1920x1080 option.
The pictures got another boost in late 2007 to 2000 high end and later in 2008 went up to 2400 high end.
I just found that worth mentioning since not only have they increased their updates around 400%, but tripled the technical quality too. That makes the price (35 USD) not a con. It's nice to see a site changing everything for the better.
Problems with the site, there are speculum parts, pissing parts and the close-ups may be a bit much for some. The good thing here, these are usually separated by part so if you would have fast-forwarded those parts, you can just save the hassle by not downloading the parts you don't like.
No problems with the models at all. A very good blend of models from all around the world and a good mix of ethnic backgrounds.
Navigation is broken down for you. You can search by model name. Model nationality. Model age. Year released. And a few bonus points here for naming the videos whatever the scene is named. Instead of some generic number name that no one but their programmer understands.
Unless I missed something there are no boy/girl scenes, but there are some girl/girl scenes with the vast majority being solo. I'm thinking I'm going to need to ask Santa Claus for a new hard drive just for the content I get from this site.
By percent, 76% of the sets are available in 1920x1080. I'm almost positive no other site can say that. My biggest surprise was the diversity of models. It looks to have started out with more Euro models, but it has balanced out with Hispanic, Asian, American (white and black) models showing up too.
I guess if I had to pick something to change it would be to offer a full scene download for those of us that have fast connections. Oh and it signs me out too often. A download had finished, maybe 5 minutes passed and I clicked the next scene to download and was signed out.
That's minor though when you consider the overall quality of this site. Would push the score even higher if the photo sets had more photos in them. Highly recommended especially for tech quality lovers.
Tania's content is very good, especially what looks to be her earliest sets. Agree on the body.
My favorite of Pacino's models is Pamela Spice, she passed Gigi when I finally remembered Pamela's site is free with Pacino's Adventures. Of course, I like public exhibitionism and she has quite a lot of it.
I still haven't checked much of Karla's content out, but like the look and don't mind the tease only as she seems to be very good at tease in the bonus content I've seen of her. Actually thought I would get the $5 trial offer to her site and was going to take it. Maybe it's when you cancel to Pacino's that it is offered?
I remember having a similar discussion on here a few years back.
One major point that is often missed is: How much of the content do you keep?
I think once you look at it that way you see that the quality is more important than the quantity. Especially if you put it into some kind of ratio. Say a site has 50 total sets and you keep all 50. You get another 50 sets you keep from a site with 10,000 sets. With me, I would rate the first one higher just because of the ratio of good content compared to the endless hours of digging through the bigger site.
I also meant to mention, I think that music is just in the trailers. I went through the 7 newest videos and there's no music at all in them. Then watched one of the trailers and noticed the music. So I'm guessing that's just for the trailers.
I definitely agree about the less English the better which is why I usually am joining the Euro sites. As hot as Eva Angelina is, she can become really annoying with the constant talking and screaming. Also saw a video recently of Tiffany Taylor teasing a guy and she said the same thing about 40 times in the video, "You're such a naughty boy" over and over and over! Yeah, Rocco gets a little carried away. The worst part about the males is that the best you can usually hope from them is that they are humorous, but even then they get annoying since we're not watching porn to see a comedy set.
Going back to this, now that my membership is over, I am glad I took the Vivid/Evil Angel add-ons and felt the content released on them was better, over the month, than the content released on VB. Though I didn't try it out, when I went to cancel, the way I read it, you can continue the Vivid/Evil Angel subscriptions for $17.95 for both and cancel VB.
I meant to reply to this, but had been on a mini-vacation. One thing I should have added, not for sure if this made any difference, I had a year membership to Met-Art last year. It ran out about 3 months ago, so I don't know if the offer was maybe offered to just those who had joined it long-term or not.
The solo videos started improving on the Sexy Rider update in August 2010. There is a noticeable difference in her looks, looks a little slimmer and is much more into the masturbation. The lesbian sets hadn't dropped off at all. She just seemed bored with the solo sets. There was at one time, say May to August, where she ends/orgasms, in the same position. Starting with the Easy Rider update she is back to moving around more, more positions and the seductive eyes looking into the camera. She has a couple of new updates, lesbian, with Melanie Memphis that are very good. You can also see a difference in her outfits. For awhile there, she wore similar outfits to start each set. Usually a tank and skirt. Now she's back to adding jeans, leather, really pretty Latina-like dresses.
They still have some technical problems on the site though they are usually fixed in a day or two. And they do name a lot of the scenes the same, there's quite a few named, "Sexy Eve". Still, it's a very good site for new content of Eve. I'm not positive, but I think she's gone all-exclusive to this site now. Most of the content I see popping up on other sites is older content that hadn't been released, I know ALS Angels had a new video of her last month that looks like it is probably 2 years old.
I wouldn't usually write a review based on a trial, but seeing that this site only has, now 94 videos, 94 photo sets, I was able to download the full site in one day. In the next 3 weeks, there will only be 3 new updates, so a month wouldn't make much difference. Also note that I mentioned how the technical quality is not based on date released. Some of the older videos are HD, while some of the newer ones aren't. My rating would be the same as a monthly site since I think the content is good enough, for an 82, it's just easier and cheaper to grab it as a trial when you join Pacino's Adventures.
Been meaning to get back to the other reply about Eve. I have noticed on this second time through Pacino's sites that some of the videos are lower quality. As much as 50% smaller resolution as some of the other videos. That may be where you are seeing milkiness. I think the 1440 high end videos look really good. I'm not for sure on this, but I think the cross-sell changes daily so you can get some offers for Karla Spice and Gigi as well with those full access trials. One thing easily seen, I think he has about the best selection of young Latina models on the internet.
