Yup, been using that place for a long time now, their awards category for shmups is a must see 
Incidentally, I've been playing this rather long demo of Reflex:
http://www.siterskain.com/reflex/download.htm
That game is already in my list of best shmups for the PC. Go ahead and try it. The game uses a shield system which can be used to deflect and reflect projectiles back at your opponents. However, this system uses up energy from your ship, and prolonged usage will mean less power will be available for your primary weapons (they noticeably become weaker when your energy bar is low). Reflex also features great boss fights and awesome soundtrack. The link above leads to the demo version, the full version comes out in Comiket 74 sometime this August.
