Hard Gonzo may not be for those of you who enjoy some light-hearted sex. The site promises to deliver some of the nastiest and roughest hardcore around, but of course you'll be finding famous pornstars taking cock after cock and I, for one, am sure that there is some need to suspend your disbelief. However, a fantasy is a fantasy and these talented models do pull off the roughness quite well.
Some of the models on HardGonzo also have their official websites through the same network. The network is called Puba and any membership to a single site gets your instant access to all 30 sites. Some of the official pornstar sites include London Keyes, Lily Taylor and Asa Akira, but there are some extra multi-model sites like FacePounders claiming equally rough action. In addition to the bonus sites there are live chats, but these tend to feature more or less amateur cam girls.
The site design looks good and content areas are easy enough to find, but don't expect a lot of help from search tools. By default, the scenes and photos are listed from the latest ones and you can also sort them by title, but that's about it. There aren't any additional features and while the site isn't all that huge, I still think it could use some advanced search filters. In fact, there aren't content dates on any of the scenes and there aren't scene descriptions, either.
The photo gallery is actually a fairly generic one made up with content from sites in the network. Most focus on one particular pornstar named Kirsten Price and she doesn't have much to do with Hard Gonzo. As it turns out, there are 130 Hard Gonzo scenes and on the video pages you'll find corresponding sets of 1200x795 pictures. These are nice looking shots of the action, although they aren't as large in size as what is offered by the majority of sites in the network. Still, there are some fantastic blowjob and fucking stills and you can browse through the slideshow or download your favourite sets in Zip files.
The movies tend to average around 25 minutes each and they are pretty much absent of any sort of storyline. You might get a brief set-up, but basically you get the straight forward and to the fucking gonzo and it is hard. There are DP and anal scenes, tag-team fucking action, throat violations and face-fucking. A number of known girls are in these films, but I noticed some amateurs and some Europeans, as well. The videos can be streamed and downloads include a low (2520kbps, 1280x720) quality and HD MP4 (5000kbps, 1280x720) download. I actually couldn't detect much difference when playing either quality through my computer, but there might be some difference in resolution in playing the films on your HD TV, for example. As much as it's great to have such high quality version of the movies, I still think at least one lower quality for mobile and one 1080p movie option would be nicer.
Final Verdict
When it comes to delivering on the story-free, rough sex, Hard Gonzo delivers in one film after another. You get deepthroat, rough anal, guys fucking up pussy and double penetration, for starters. The videos are excellent quality, the photos are good and Hard Gonzo should give you at least a few months worth of getting off time. Without content dates it's not easy to get a fix on how frequently the site is updating, but considering the amount of scenes does seem to reflect the amount of time the site has been online, I'd say that you'd probably get some updates, albeit randomly. If the updates were regular, then I would expect content dates, but there aren't any, so be aware of this. All in all though, and combined with access to another 29 Puba Network sites, the price is right for Hard Gonzo.
