Overview:
Since 1971, Falcon Studios has been leading the homoerotic charge by unleashing upon the unsuspecting public a barrage of hardcore all-male sex extravaganzas more aggressively carnal and outright filthy than most porn productions, even the more outlandish hetero kink-fests. Having been distributing its wares online for a number of years, it's clear Falcon is focusing not only on DVD distribution, but digital as well, and what a treat that is for home viewers keen on watching stiff-dicked, super-ripped studs have at each other with rare sexual glee! Falcon Studios brings together a handful of sites, each operating under its ever-watchful eye and presenting a slightly different take on gay hardcore. From sneaker-sporting jocks and athletes to heavily-tattooed hunks getting cum all over their beards, from teenage newcomers to experienced, even legendary veterans, Falcon Studios has all kinds of men doing all kinds of things. Ass-fucking and deepthroat blowjobs obviously abound, but there's also romantic sixty-nining, military fetishism, body piercings galore, and plenty of guys sporting that allegedly suave, heavily treated coif with the super-short sides everyone's got going on nowadays. At $29.95-a-month, a Falcon Studios membership gets you inside a network of sites all devoted to sharing the brilliance of this legendary porn studio and those other studios working under its masthead: Falcon Member Exclusives, Guys Like Us, Jocks Studios, Mustang Studios, Falcon International, Falcon Str8men, Falcon Edge, and, of course, Falcon Studios itself. Surely that's enough to keep even the most ravenous devourer of homosexual hardcore delicacies well-fed for eons, right? How about we take a wander and a gander through Falcon Studios and see what's what?

Pros:
Falcon Studios is the network home of eight hardcore gay sites, each one catering to a slightly different theme or niche or fetish: Jocks Studios features athletic fucking from athletic men while Mustang Studios takes that style even further and gets quite aggressive; Guys Like Us showcases everyday guys and their ass-fucking, throat-filling, face-splattering hobbies; then there's Falcon sites International, Edge, Str8Men, Studios, and Member Exclusives, all of which explain themselves quite clearly.

Now streaming in 720p High Definition resolutions almost as clear as the views enjoyed by Falcon's camera crews, Falcon Studios' videos have hit solid HD status. Photo galleries look quite good, too, in 1920px frames, viewable online or in downloaded zips. Clarity is high - though not as high as it would be in 1080p resolutions - and the super-tasty guys look incredible, their well-carved bodies making a huge impression.

The men of Falcon Studios include many of the hardest and hardest working men in gay porn: Landon Conrad, Roman Heart, mohawked Adam Killian, fuckin' fit Ty Colt, Brad Patton, and Travis Wade, and tattooed, pierced bad boys like Jesse Santana, and Trenton Ducati. The guys look great posing for the camera and flying into action when the dicks are whipped out and they're told to start sucking.

Thirty dollars might be a bit much to ask of some porn fans, even those with a roaring hard-on for Falcon's work, so Mr. Pink's and the Falcon folks have teamed up to offer you, dear reader, your first month on the Falcon Studios network for a measly $14.95! And, with close to 4,300 scenes already available and another three added each week, that's a pretty damn good deal regardless of your taste in all-male porn.

Cons:
Not a single video has been made available for download from Falcon Studios' servers. Being forced to stream every video you're interested in and remain a paying member just to rewatch something already paid for and enjoyed will certainly strike many prospective members as a crummy deal, and I can't say see it much differently.

Making your way around Falcon Studios is aided by a few key navigation tools, but there's ample room for improvement via an advanced search engine, fully descriptive keyword tags, and more detailed update listing, and easily accessible individual versions of each networked site.

Nothing found at Falcon Studios should be considered completely exclusive save for those scenes posted to Falcon Member Exclusives. Most everything else comes from DVD releases and is not only available in retail and online stores but can be found on other adult video sites, too. The most obvious case of nonexclusive content being hosted comes via bright and blatant HotHouse.com watermarks.

It's almost not worth pointing this out, but some prospective members will definitely want to know that the Falcon Studios archives contain much content that looks weak and color-drained in 360p and 360i video frames. Not only are these older scenes less visually impressive, they're a bit dull on the sexual side, too, with less adventurous and less detailed activities taking place.

Conclusion:
It's been quite a while since Mr. Pink's last checked out Falcon Studios and I had hoped some significant changes had been made to improve the value and enjoyability of this well known gay porn emporium. Unfortunately, with videos still streaming-only and no forthcoming downloads apparently on the cards, disappointment still runs high here. If you're comfortable with a streaming-only site, however, Falcon Studios and its seven sub-sites have a lot to offer with deep archives loaded with kinky carnality and (fairly) vanilla gay sex. One recent change, the addition of 720p HD videos, is well worth celebrating: videos now look crisp and deliver ample detail in stream windows while photos match the quality in 1920px galleries which, strangely enough, can be downloaded in zipped sets. Falcon Studios really only needs to offer downloads before it'll start dazzling more and more viewers; an easy fix, really, and one I hope comes sooner rather than later for this slowly-but-surely evolving network.
