Game Link b-plus

Does Game Link deliver what it promises on the outside?

First off, this site is a store, for all intents and purposes. They want you to buy either DVD's or prepaid minutes. The main screen advertises "Over 150,000 hours of Adult Movies." While this is technically probably true, the part that concerns viewers of this site is considerably lower. The "gay section" is rather small, and the selection is not the best in the world.

What's good about Game Link? What needs improvement?

The first thing you see when you go to this site is BOOBS, BOOBS, and more BOOBS. Don't get discouraged, there are naked men awaiting you inside. (Way, way inside.) The section we are interested in took me a moment to find, stuck as it was on the end of the row of menu choices. The site itself looks like a porn store exploded. There are banners, and links, and thumbnails everywhere. It is an extremely busy site, and somewhat hard to navigate. I kind of went into sensory overload when I first glanced at it. The webmasters would do well to streamline things a bit more.

Once you get to the gay section, there are menus on the side of the screen which divide the site into different content, for example genre or studio. The main selling point is their play on demand content, but not all their videos are playable. There are a number of them only available to buy. The amount of content, and studios represented is somewhat lacking, at least in my opinion. There is some good stuff here, but there is also some crap. I would like to see some more studios represented, and get some more well known films.

The videos themselves are actually good quality. The streaming is very smooth, and extremely fast. I was able to jump forwards and backwards with ease during every movie I watched. Some of the videos have separate scenes queued up and ready to go, while others you must find the scene you want manually. It would be nice to have all the scenes to where you could jump to them immediately if you wanted to. Also, not all the actors in each film are listed. If you are looking for your favorite, you might want to look on some other site to find the name of the films they are in before wasting precious minutes searching the video stream for a glimpse of them.

How is Game Link unique?

I don't think uniqueness is what the site is going for, play on demand sites are all over the place. There is no original content, and there are no original models.

What do paying users recieve for their money?

Members receive whatever they want to receive. You pay per minute, or you order a DVD. There is no "membership" fee. For the play on demand content, you get a fast, good quality streaming video and nothing more. If that is what you are looking for, then great. If you want something you can view multiple times for a single price, consider buying a DVD, or download, or surfing elsewhere. I think this site is good for mainly when you are considering purchasing a video, but want to glance at it first. Other than that, I don't see much point in something I can't keep afterwards.

Ben Dover Boy's review b-plus

August 7, 2009

Caricature of Ben Dover BoyWell guys, Game Link is one of the newer PPV online video sites out there. The concept of these is pretty simple. You have a variety of options of purchasing memberships. By far, the easiest I'd say is to take advantage of one of Game Link's tiered minute packages. You choose how many minutes you want, and then you can stream scenes or entire videos from their collection. Now, what you'll probably immediately notice, as I did, is that Game Link doesn't seem to have any gay content yet in its video vault. Don't despair though. Up at the top right corner is an option to head over to the gay section. Whew! Read full review

Porn Yogi's review b-plus

April 20, 2009

Caricature of Porn YogiGamelink.com is a pay-per-view site. When you arrive at the home page you are confronted with tits, tits and more tits. You might think "what am I doing here?" But if you look carefully in the upper right corner, there is a tab that says "gay." Click on that and all is right with the world. The gay section is very well stocked with a wide assortment of clips from studios ranging from 'top shelf' to 'wedged under the bottom shelf.' Pretty much anything for any taste is here. Some of the A-list studios featured include Titan Man, Pacific Sun, Channel 1 Releasing, Jet Set, Falcon, and Factory Video, in addition to the dozens of studios you've never heard of and may not want to.

Techie's review b-plus

April 3, 2009

Caricature of TechieIf your neighborhood is like mine, not long ago there were a few independent video rental outlets with a XXX back room. Even in my conservative neighborhood I could find a decent collection of gay material available for a few days and a few bucks. Well, Blockbuster and Hollywood Video now dominate the rental scene and we all know their prudish ways. Times in the video rental business have certainly changed. Read full review
