東方花映塚 ～ Phantasmagoria of Flower View
Touhou Kaeidzuka (Oriental Flower Viewing Mound)
PoFV is the 9th official game in the Touhou Bullet hell Series which is made by Team Shanghai Alice, a group circle who actually have only one member, which is ZUN.
POFV is different from its predecessors due to the fact that this game is a VS game. The gameplay screen is literally divided into two columns. There is 10+ characters to choose from, including new characters like Aya Shameimaru, Medicine Melancholy, Komachi Onozuka, Shikeiki yamasanadu, and a comeback character from PC98 games, Yuka Kazami. The gameplay is pretty unique due to the fact that being a VS game in a Shootemup genre, it is a great game for those who wants to challenge their friends in a head-on Shmups game without using the beat-the-score system. The controls is pretty basic if your only one player, but if you want to play this with another friend then you might have slight a problem. You'll need a joystick controller to play this well with two characters 'coz this games system is predetermined to run exclusively for joystick controllers. So if you don't have a Game controller for PC, maybe it's time to have one now. The songs are a remix of the past character songs, along with new soundtracks for the new characters. The graphix are pretty cute and advanced when compared to the past games. All in all, this one is a great addition to the series even though it's considered as the most bland of all of them... But anyway, it's still addicting especially when you play with another guy (or girl). it's just kinda annoying when your playing with a computer 'coz you'll actually see them shaking while dodging Danmakus which is pretty like inhumane to do, haha! Touhou 9 PoFV might be a flaw in the series but still, it's fun in it\s own way. ~ze..

東方永夜抄 ~Imperishable Night
東方永夜抄(Touhou Eiyashou literally translated to Eternal Night Vignette from the East)
Touhou 08 ~Imperishable Night~
'Sup OG, here is an another release for Otaku-gen and an another game of Touhou. Touhou 08 Imperishable Night, made by Team Shanghai Alice who composed with no other than the one guy programming machine, ZUN, is the 8th installment in the Touhou Project shmups series. Touhou is famous for it's beautiful bullet patterns, and intricate and colorful barrages of sweet kunai's, spikes, balls, hearts, butterfly, needles, amulets, Big balls of light, Bigger balls of nuclear abomination, and lasers thats called Danmaku. The level of difficulty for Touhou games compared to other vertical scroller shmups games are extremely high, and Touhou 8 is not an exception.
Though considered as the easiest of all the Touhou games from 6th to newest, Imperishable Night is a unique one in the Touhou series for having 4 groups of 2 characters to choose from, and they can be used individually (totalling to up to 8 characters to choose from) when you cleared the game using every group without continue. It also have a Spell Card practice where you can practice those spell cards your being annoyed to capture. And a Last Word slot where you can find the hardest Spell cards in the game and some hints in how to unlock them. And the Stage 4 boss also differs depending on the characters your using, along with the alternate last stages.
It is widely known that Imperishable Night's story is taken from the Japanese folk tale "The tale of a bamboo cutter" and now commonly known in the title of "Kaguya-hime" (princess Kaguya) (you can search wiki for the story). I don't want to spoil the story to those who haven't played it yet, but the story of this one is very straight forward so you don't need a stupid story teller like me to tell the tale (yeah whatever ^^).The moon is replaced by a fake moon, and the loli girls we loved from gensokyo are up to investigate it. that's all.. haha!
Addictiveness level is very high and the graphics is very good when compared to other shmups games so let's give a round of applause to ZUN.. WOO!!! If you haven't played it yet, now is your chance to try^^
