Update, January 21 2008
Time for another 2008 site network update, this time another one of my favourite networks. As the case - not entirely unexpected - appears to be with several of these networks, not much has changed over the past year, NS All Access hasn't even added any new sites to the network since my last visit.
That's hardly a disaster though, as this was obviously already an extremely impressive network, so the one and only - but rather important thing - that has changed is content volume.
Aside from the few sites (as mentioned in the previous update below) that have been dead for a while, updates appear to have been regular like clock work, which means most of the sites are now around 50 videos and photosets larger than a year ago, and the main site New Sensations plus JizzBomb even larger with their speedier updates.
As an unexpected but rather nice surprise, the video quality on videos since around Summer 2007 has gotten a boost - or rather they've moved to a widescreen format, 888x480, 1400 kbit vs. the old 640x480, 1400 kbit, and they actually still hold up quite well even among all the HD and DVD quality videos I've seen in 2007.
The only thing still dragging down the NS All Access network (and the individual sites) a bit is a somewhat outdated user interface that could do with a makeover providing larger preview pics and slightly less clunky navigation. I've still seen far worse though, and it doesn't really detract much from the experience unless you're directly comparing it to more modern offerings.
2nd look, February 2 2007:
It's been a year since my original review of the excellent NS All Access network, and just like the case has been with several, if not most of the other second looks I've done of already great sites or networks, I didn't really expect much to have changed except for an even higher number of videos and photosets.
And those expectations proved about spot on with NS All Access as well - more or less anyway.
With a couple of exceptions, sites that had stopped updating already a while ago, most of the originally included ten sites have grown fairly steadily over the last year. New Sensations and JizzBomb are still the two fastest growing sites, with most of the rest trailing behind at an acceptable rate of usually one video and photo update a week.
Four new sites have also been added to the network recently (they weren't there when I peeked in briefly in August), the site titles should clue you in on what to expect here - "2 Dicks in 1 Chick", "Heavy Handfuls", "POV Fantasy" and "Internal Violations". All four have a pretty decent number of of videos/photosets, between 35 and 65. There's some recycled content from the older sites though - I think these four sites were originally sold seperately before it was decided to include them in the NS All Access network.
Anything else worth mentioning? Not much - a few minor changes to the site interface on several of the sites (content sorted by model rather than date added, which can actually make life a bit more cumbersome for a returning visitor as it can be a bit difficult to figure out what's been added since your last visit), and of course an even larger number of beautiful pornstars and babes across the network sites, thanks to all the new content.
Last I also want to mention one of the included sites that I didn't review originally - Screaming O. It's a toys/masturbation site I didn't pay all that much attention to given that I already have a number of spectacular favourites covering those niches (check out the masturbation review category if you want to learn more about those).
It looks like it has turned into a bit of an "extreme penetration" site with nearly all its latest 20-25 updates though (and some of the older videos as well), with girls like Leah Luv, Victoria Sweet, Veronica Jett, Jersey Jaxin and several others stuffing themselves with some really large dildos (even larger than the pretty gigantic cock Mr. Biggz is swinging around on the included interracial site), and that sort of thing obviously tends to draw a bit of attention.
Sure, if you're after a hardcore toy site there are better choices out there, but as an addition to the NS All Access network, Screamin' O just became significantly more interesting in my opinion.
No changes to scores. NS All Access is still one of the best networks I've come across, and while some of the included sites could do with a slighty faster update schedule, you still get something new every day from usually at least two sites, and most of the sites are already pretty damn large (New Sensations and JizzBomb very large).
Original review:
If you like pornstars - both well known, high profile names as well as a slew of hot up and cummers - then you're in for a real treat with the NS All Access network. Everyone from Adrianna Sage over Aurora Snow, Briana Banks, Crissy Moran, Jenna Jameson and Nikita Denise, to Silvia Saint, Taylor Rain and Tera Patrick is here - along with a few hundred others.
The flagship site New Sensations, is a traditional pornstar site - or in their own words from the tour page, "the industry's leading adult pornstar mega site". While boasts like that should usually be taken with a grain (or a pound) of salt, in this case it's probably not too far off the mark.
While I'll save the details about New Sensations for the reviews of the individual network sites, suffice it to say that the company (bearing the same name) has been shooting hardcore porn for the DVD market for around seven years, and you will be able to find most of that DVD content in downloadable format on New Sensations and the other included sites.
Judging from the long list of pornstars they are working with, it's safe to say they have been pretty successful at what they do both online and for the DVD shelves in the traditional porn market. I bet many of these girls don't exactly come cheap.
Aside from the huge collection of hardcore videos and photosets at New Sensations, the NS All Access network also includes nine other smaller sites - and I have in fact found myself spending more time on those (combined anyway) that I have on the main site. There's a lot of good stuff to be found here as well.
These nine sites each cover a specific porn niche or category, rather than being more of the "general hardcore porn" theme from New Sensations. They are picking from the same seemingly bottomless pool of hot hardcore pornbabes as the main site is though.
On these smaller sites you'll get facials, interracial/monster cock, squirting, latinas, masturbation/toys, anal, point of view blowjobs, lesbian and a few additional forms of hot hardcore entertainment. The nine sites vary a bit in size, but they all have very respectable video/photo collections (we're talking from around 40+ all the way to 300+ long videos with matching photosets).
Digging around a bit you will notice that some of it can be found at New Sensations as well, but given the somewhat clumsy design of that site (the size of the collection doesn't exactly make it easier to find things either), you will probably quickly take a liking to these smaller niche sites.
So now that we've established that the content is pretty damn hot, the girls the same and there's a lot of variety to be found in this network, let's move on to the technical quality of especially the videos. As you've probably realized if this isn't the first review you're reading here, I'm not at all too happy about blurry low resolution videos.
It's fortunate then that that only applies to the oldest videos at the main site (which is still a sizeable collection though) - every single video on the nine niche sites as well as all recent content at New Sensations are in a high 640x480 resolution with a very impressive 1400 kbit bitrate that makes these videos crystal clear even when viewed in full screen mode.
If more porn sites would take this route I would be a much happier reviewer. At the time of writing I've covered quite a few sites with similar high standards, but I've already been taking sneak peeks at some of the sites and site networks I will be reviewing in the future - and let's just say that the majority of them still seem to think they can get away with a whole lot less.
The photos are not quite up to scratch with the amazing looking videos. They are obviously shot by professional photographers, but the resolution is only 800 pixels on the long side - even smaller on many of the photos at New Sensations.
With a total of several hundred hours of video in the network I must admit I haven't really found myself caring all that much about the photo content though.
If you made it through the text above it should be pretty obvious that I love the NS All Access network. There's enough hardcore porn here to keep you entertained for months (and that's not counting the near daily updates across the network), the girls are smoking hot and the video quality (barring the old content at New Sensations) is amazing.
Definately one of the best site networks out there at this time.
