The Alice Malice review

 

While The Alice Malice does a very good job in showing cosplay, the delivery of it leaves something to be desired. No videos is a big drawback to this site. Additionally, the photo galleries are not zip downloadable and updates don't seem to be happening on a set schedule yet. If the site can address these issues, it will be something that cosplay fans will love.

Entertainment: 24/35   Lots of cosplay photos within the sets. Nudity, but it is not the sole focus.
Technical content: 17/25   Good looking photos, especially for amateur.
Usability: 7/15   Easy navigation thanks to a limited archive. But no zip download photo sets and slow vertical thumbnail scroller.
Updates: 10/25   An update every Wednesday, but doesn't seem to be 100% regular.

Concept and Introduction

The Alice Malice is all about Alice, an alternative babe who likes cosplay and to dress up in all kinds of costumes, fetish, and pin up outfits. The site is purely amateur, where you'll see Alice showing off her fascination for fetish and costume play. She also shows some nudity, but Alice in cosplay is definitely the star here.

 

Porn Talk

If you like cosplay, you'll find the photo galleries in The Alice Malice arousing. Alice dresses up in a wide variety of costumes, ranging from the usual secretary to something more extreme, like a vampire. Additional photo sets revolve around the themes of arachnid, cowgirl, trashy goth, mistress, poison, punk, faerie, succubus, magician, and more.

There are plenty of photos for you to enjoy, with Alice staying in costume for a large part of each of the sets. This is refreshing if you're in to cosplay and don't necessarily want to see nudity. Some cosplay sites miss the mark by showing the model in a costume for maybe 1/10th of the photo set with the rest being nudity. There is, however, nudity, but it definitely takes a back seat to the fetish and cosplay outfits.

Unfortunately, there are no videos to enjoy, so you have to content yourself with just the photos.

 

Tech Talk

As I mentioned above, there are no videos within The Alice Malice. Apparently they are coming soon, but it would be really nice if Alice could put a simple message on the page and an estimated time of when she thinks the videos will be available. Hopefully she will get videos soon, since offering them will help make her website a contender in the cosplay genre.

There are over 40 photo galleries, all dealing with a particular cosplay or alternative theme. Unfortunately, the galleries aren't zip downloadable, but there is a slide show option available. The photos open to 535x800, but enlarge to 2000x1339 pixels. They're pretty good quality, especially when you consider this an amateur site. There are around 100 pictures in each gallery.

A few galleries seem to be available in .rar archives. They are over 800 MBs large! They contain the full uncompressed images from that set and look awesome. It may be a bit much though - would be much better if every set was offered as a compressed file with slightly smaller images at a more reasonable file size.

 

Small Talk and Personal Opinion

I couldn't verify how often the site was updated as there are no dates noted. The welcome message does state that the site is updated every Wednesday, but counting the weeks from the last blog entry revealing which set was uploaded, there have been some weeks missed. This also means that the blog hasn't been updated for several months now.

The Alice Malice has potential, but there are some drawbacks: no zip download galleries, and no videos. While it's true the site is amateur and maintained by Alice herself, she needs to realize that in order to attract and retain members, she will have to address these issues. Hopefully will be soon. On the plus side, her photo galleries are very much on target for the cosplay audience in that she places a heavy emphasis on the costumes she wears, rather than quickly getting nude.

The site is new and luckily the price reflects that fact making it a good deal for cosplay fans.

Conclusion

The Alice Malice shows a lot of potential, but she kind of misses the mark at present. There are no videos although they are coming soon, so hopefully she will deliver on that. The photo sets aren't zip downloadable, and this is a perk that most members want.

The photo galleries themselves are very good, especially since they stay on focus of cosplay and fetish wear. There are, however, less than 50 photo galleries, so there isn't much of an archive built up. Navigation is relatively easy, though scrolling through the thumbnails can be frustrating at times due to the slow vertical scroller. Once these issues are resolved, The Alice Malice will be a viable contender in the cosplay genre.
