We're only halfway into 2012, but already we've been treated to a slew of outstanding porn releases. With the economy making consumers more thrifty, the battle for our gay porn dollars has become fierce. Across the board, gay porn studios have been pushing themselves to innovative and to up their game. As a result, the first six months of 2012 have brought a bumper crop of great porn titles – and this month we'll look at some of our favorites from ten top studios.

American Lovers Part 1 from BelAmiOnline.com
When Bel Ami embraced bareback porn and experimented with new kinds of content (such as Kinky Angels) in recent years, it was a bold move. But in 2012 penultimate Euro-twink studio surprised everyone by adding Americans to their stable of models. Perhaps American Lovers will mark the beginning of a new era for Bel Ami.

Name of the Game from CockyBoys.com
Since bringing Benny Morecock on board and revamping the website in 2011, Cocky Boys has been unstoppable. Name of the Game (see the Megabyte in this issue) has an all star cast that includes Tommy Defendi, Gabriel Clark, Mason Star, and Kennedy Carter.

Uniform Men from COLTStudioGroup.com
In Uniform Men, director Kristofer Weston dresses up some of COLT's finest models as firemen, police officers, military men, and gentlemen. The result is both a great porn and an interesting documentary look at the making of COLT's Uniform Men Calendar.

Mantrap from CazzoFilm.com
Fans of nasty pig sex know that Germany's Cazzo Film can be counted on to push things over the edge (and straight into the gutter). For Mantrap they assembled an international cast of 11 hot studs and then let them loose in a run-down mansion.

Hung Over from FalconStudios.com
Gay has always been a fact of life in the military – one which is taken to wild extremes in this sizzling release starring the hunky Chris Tyler. When Chris is deployed for yet another year of military service, his friends throw him a party. But when someone spikes the punch, it turns into a free-for-all orgy that which none of them will admit to remembering the next day.

All Stars from HotHouse.com
Hot House takes locker room jock sex to new heights with an all-star cast of eight bench-fucking, jockstrap-wearing dream men that includes Chris Tyler, Jimmy Durano, Topher DiMaggio, and Jessie Colter.

The Last Day from LucasEntertainment.com
Shot on location in Ibiza, The Last Day is big-budget porn thriller that has Jonathan Agassi (and the rest of the star-studded cast) fucking like there's no tomorrow as they all fight to survive. Borrowing equally from Lost and The Core, the plot may have bigger holes than even the film's hunky stars (CERN's Large Hadron Collider somehow destabilizes the Earth's core as scientists search for evidence of the Higgs boson particle?) but you won't care once the sex starts.

Meat Hungry from NextDoorStudios.com
Next Door Studios is responsible for some of today's most popular and well-reviewed porn sites, so it comes as no surprise that their DVD releases are equally good. For Meat Hungry, they brought together a cast of ten top studs which includes Adam Wirthmore, Blue Kennedy, Kevin Crows, Paul Wagner, Phenix Saint, and Rod Daily.

Cockwork from RagingStallion.com
Director Tony DiMarco has crafted a four-scene hommage to A Clockwork Orange that manages to be as clever and stylish as it is hot. The costuming (what there is of it!) is dead-on, but what you'll really be impressed by are the fantastic sex scenes and a stellar cast that includes D.O. and Tom Wolfe.

TIM Suck Vol. 1 from TreasureIslandMedia.com
For TIMSuck Vol. 1, the world's #1 swallow video producer has unleashed a collection of nine amazing oral scenes pulled from Treasure Island's hit TimSuck website. No one knows how to pair up big-dicked hunks with cum-hungry cocksuckers like T.I.M., so fans of oral videos can plan on watching this one time and again.

Surveillance from TitanMen.com
In our modern world, true privacy is more or less an illusion. In Surveillance, TitanMen shows us what can happen when the men watching the security cameras like what they see. The action takes place in a warehouse and on a loading dock as a group of hunky laborers and security guards cross paths for some amazing sex. The cast includes hot daddy Nate Pierce, Spencer Reed, Christopher Daniels, Harley Everett, and TitanMen Exclusives Dario Beck, Trenton Ducati, Jesse Jackman, and Hunter Marx.
