What we have here is a round 100 non-exclusive Latino scenes and access to a mighty network. Not all of the network is gay though, in fact there are about 18 gay sites and then around 90 straight, bi and tranny ones in the All Porn Sites Pass Network, here called the All Gay Sites Pass. So, although there are some very hot Latino, Brazilian and Hispanic guys in here, there is also a lot of everything else, from twinks to bears with a lot of other varied guys thrown in.
There were actually 116 scenes when I was in the site, and the most recent had been added about ten days prior to my visit. The upload dates are on the viewing pages, rather than being shown with the samples on the Updates page and, flicking back through a few, it looks like updates happen around three or four times per month at the moment. Not all videos come with images, but there were 63 picture sets. These dated back to 2006, so there is no regular update schedule there. The earliest videos were not dated so I cant say if the once per month rate has always been kept up; I doubt it. But at least things are moving at the moment.
Most scenes here have good viewing options. There are some older movies in this network that only come with a basic stream and an Mp4 download of the full scene. But there are many others that have three qualities of WMV and clips as well as full scenes to take, plus a choice of Mp4 files, and a choice of streaming. I've seen some, again in the network rather than here at Hard Latin Gays that are HD as well. At the moment though I am only looking at a standard definition stream, around 640 x 480 and a similar sized high quality WMV playing at 1,500 kbps. The medium range WMV was at 700 kbps @ 400 x 300 in size; full screen was not an option, though it was just about ok in the more modern streams. Movies run for various lengths of time but are generally a standard scene length of 20 to 25 minutes.
There is a lot of Brazilian activity in this site; Bananas from Brazil is a movie title that crops up a lot, with various scenes. So, if you are a Latino collector you may have seen these movies before and may recognise the titles, I believe that the scenes come from released DVDs under license. That makes for some very horny times though, with huge, horse hung Latin boys gobbling down hick cocks, and riding hard shafts in well made, well produced movies that you would otherwise have to buy in a shop. There is a good mix of guys too, older and younger, amateur looking fit and athletic, and there is a nice mix of solos and action scenes, with lots of hardcore duo action.
When you come to look at the galleries you find that they hold various amounts of images. I came across some missing thumbnails from time to time, but the images still opened when I clicked them. I found images up at 650 x 1,024 in size that were clear and focused, there were portraits and posed shots, full nudity and action shots taken during the filming of the hardcore. Older images were still a decent size and quality. Again a nice mix of some very good looking and cute Latino guys.
So, content-wise, this is not a huge Latino collection and it is not exclusive, but it holds some nice quality movies and pics and there are good viewing options.
Working down the main pages you have: A favourites area to store your favourite scenes in, and clear links to do this are on the viewing and photo pages; there is a support tab and one for feedback. There is a keyword search box to use and the drop-down list of sites. When you use this, the main header and menu stay the same but the content changes beneath it. The Home, Browse and model index areas will change per site while the Bonus sites, Bonus videos and other pages will stay the same as they are network-wide.
Updates are shown on the home page, you can access all the network updates if you want and you find this link in the drop-down. When you do this you get to see the 12 most recent updates from the network, and these are more or less daily. And then you can head off into the various sites from there.
The model index holds links to 23 guys who appear in the movies, and to their scenes, but it doesn't have any information about them apart from their name. But you can rate them if you want, and you can also rate the scenes and pics and leave comments, though that is about as interactive as it gets here. The links to live cams, dating sites and other extras are up-sells to other sites, but there is a load of free feed sites and extra videos to watch all included in your membership.
Navigation is easy here and apart from some missing images, I had no technical troubles at all.
Hard Latin Gays is not the biggest or best Latino site around, but it does give you some Latino content and various ways to view it. Mainly your membership here is access to a large porn network that includes gay, straight, bi and tranny sites and an impressive number of them. You get decent value then if you are looking for a bit of everything, apart from perhaps, fetish content. So this is actually a big collection on non-exclusive content (with some original content in other sites).
