Review:

"Banging Machines", huh? It's hard to put our finger on it, but that name sounds just a little familiar. Almost as though we've heard it before somewhere. Girls . . . fucking . . . machines . . .

No question this site is poaching on the preserve of Fucking Machines, one of the most original, and long-running, fetish productions out there. In other words its going head-to-head against some pretty tough competition, especially when you consider the kind of archive, with years of exclusive material, that Fucking Machines has.

So what does this site have that Fucking Machines doesn't? Or what does it do better?

Well, there are a lot of extras. Though the way it's all laid out is really confusing. We had trouble even finding where the exclusive material was. Most of the navigation directs you to third party content. There's a menu down the left hand side of the screen with labels like Gallery, XXX Videos, Video Themes, Live Shows, Photo Albums, Arcade, Porn Mags, Voyeur Cam, Support, and What's New. Now obviously some of this is shit (Video Themes, Porn Mags, Voyeur Cam), but you would think a few of these links might lead you to actual content. But none of them do. They're all feeds. Even the What's New button doesn't take you anywhere. It doesn't tell you what's new for this site. Toss in a whole bunch of advertising and you have something less than an ideal browsing experience.

When you do get to the main content area you're only going to find 10 videos total. At least that's what they had when we visited, and we didn't see any update schedule. Presumably they're adding some content, though we wouldn't bank on it. In any event, we can't tell you when or how much.

The videos are pretty good. Each is about 30 minutes long. The only format is .wmv, but it's good playback at 400x300 and 1000 kb/s. Nice natural sound too. Unfortunately the girls look a bit skanky, even for this niche. There are a few pretty ones, but even the nice ones have a lot of bad tattoos. And there isn't any of the nasty bondage edge or Dr. Seuss-like technical imagination of Fucking Machines. It's just girls in a grim sort of brick dungeon riding a Sybian or getting prodded with a simple piston-pumping dildo.

And then there's the price. Yeah. Now there's a mean case of sticker shock for you. Forty fucking bucks. That really sucks the score down.

OK, there is a trial. And OK, there are a lot of extras. But let's face it: If you're interested in this stuff then girls banging machines is the shit you want. Not cream-filled pussies and teen lesbians. And the fact is you're just not getting that much of it here. Not for that kind of money. 

Bottom Line: Don't spend too long thinking about this one. There's some not bad stuff for fans of this niche, but: (a) they don't have a lot of content yet, and we don't know how much they're updating; (b) the site is poorly designed, throwing enough advertising and third party stuff at you to choke a horse; (c) the price is insane; and (d) except for video quality, which is their one strong point, it's nowhere near as good as Fucking Machines, which is the obvious alternative.
