There's a lot of stuff on this site that doesn't actually have Tera in it, just scenes from her movies, but here are some previews of the star herself in action: in a bondage three-way (from the movie Desperate), playing with a girlfriend outdoors, showing off her pussy, posing in a photoshoot, giving head backstage.

Review:

Believe it or not, this is actually our third go at a review of Tera Patrick's official site. Not because the site itself keeps changing, as because it keeps migrating. Originally Tera was a contract star with Digital Playground and they ran her site. It was pretty much a complete piece of shit. Then she fell in with the Club Jenna crowd (subsequently bought out by Playboy) and her site was called Club Tera. That site wasn't very good either. Anyway, apparently she's suing those people now for failing to account for and pay royalties for money that site made. Bottom line is she's split with them and now she's hooked up with the folks at Gamma Entertainment for this latest incarnation: TeraPatrick.com.

Though we visited this site as soon as it launched, they hit the ground running with a lot of content. There were around 50 movies (and by "movie" we mean full DVDs, not scenes) and over 100 galleries of pics. Now one thing we should say right away is that the content here is not all Tera. Tera's movies are movies produced by Tera's company, and she stars in them, but she isn't in every scene. And not all of the photo galleries are of her either. In other words, if all you want is Tera, Tera, Tera (to borrow the name of one of her DVDs), you'll find there's a lot of extra stuff here that you may not be interested in.

But who's going to argue with getting more skin? And if what you want is more you're going to get a lot more with this site because for the first time it's being offered as part of a network deal. Specifically it's part of the Fame Digital package that also includes such studio fare as the Peter North and Silvia Saint sites (for more info on the network see our review of Devil's Film). So you're definitely getting more bang for your buck.

The tech specs are the same as for the other Fame network sites. Pics are good studio sets, 1200 pixels. The movies can be streamed or downloaded in one of two formats: a low-res (320x240, 800 kb/s) or high-res (720x480, 2000 kb/s) Windows Media version. There's no DRM so you get to keep everything (a big upgrade over Tera's two previous official sites). As far as what you're going to see: No surprises. It's all stuff taken from DVDs put out by Tera's production company. We weren't sure what the difference was between the movies labeled "Best of Tera" and "Tera Exclusive." The latter appears to be behind-the-scenes footage, but it also comes from a line of DVDs (Tera's Photo Shoots and It's Play Time). With the videos featuring Tera herself, most of the time, as you'll know if you're a fan, she's fucking her hubby Evan Seinfeld (who goes by the ridiculous porn name Spyder Jonez). He's the guy with all the tattoos. Production qualities are good. Tera of course is beautiful, though we liked her with natural tits a bit better. And to be honest she's not a really intense performer. There's something kind of aloof about her on-screen presence. Oh well. You can't have everything.

At the time of launch we weren't sure how much of a personal presence Tera was going to have on the site. Live shows were advertised as "coming in 2008," which is kind of a broad window. There is a journal that seems to be updating with comments and pics from Tera's appearances at public events, and there's a forum and an Ask Tera feature that might get active. But there didn't seem to be a lot of stuff up yet that would be new for long-time Tera fans.

Overall this is a big improvement over Tera's previous official sites, if only because you finally get to download everything. And the fact that it comes as part of a very solid network is a huge bonus. As time goes by the main thing we'd like to see is whether Tera herself really gets active with doing the site. Right now it's mostly a collection of DVDs. Nothing wrong with that, but fans might be looking for something more.
