Featured Game: The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil

A little odd, but it works well

Year: 2002

Genre: Vertical Scrolling Shooter

Recommend: YES

If you were to sit me down at a PC a month ago and show me one of the Touhou games, I'd give up and walk away in not much time. After seeing a friend play the series often, though, I became fascinated with the Touhou series and the vertical shooter genre as a whole. There's something innately satisfying about massive amounts of bullets flying around on the screen and being able to dodge the lethal ones. Oh, and did I mention that Lunatic mode is @$#%&@#$!! impossible?!
