Ghost Squad is rapidly becoming the game of choice among celebrities. We don't really have much in common with chef/writer/crazy person Anthony Bourdain. He's a vocal grump about food: it either has to be fine cuisine or prohibitively authentic regional dishes (i.e. gross Fear Factor stuff) or it's garbage; our lunch today was first frozen and then microwaved.
But Bourdain revealed a commonality between the famous food nerd and game nerds when, during a stay in Korea as part of his No Reservations show, he went to an arcade with his guide and made a beeline for the Ghost Squad machine, going so far as to declare it "my favorite game in the world."
Of course, being No Reservations, the rest of the clip involves eating disgusting stuff. Skip to around the 8 minute mark for the arcade trip, and enjoy Bourdain's genuine enthusiasm for Ghost Squad. The segment continues into the first few seconds of the next clip of the show, when Bourdain has a mock fit over being forced to walk away from the game.
[Thanks, Jim!]

I wouldn't mind getting this game if it was LONGER than THREE missions.

The thing is, even though you play those missions over and over, they keep changing. It might sound repetitive, but it doesn't really feel that way because you can keep getting new guns and new paths in each level. I've spent quite a few hours blasting my way through the missions and they are still fun. The game is great and pretty cheap too.

Don't hate on Tony! I defy you to name three people on TV you'd rather spend a night hanging out and drinking with.

Anthony Bourdain sucks. Andrew Zimmern is way better.
That said, Ghost Squad looks like it would be so much more fun in the arcade. Those guns look pretty cool to use. I want to try it.

Blasphemy. Andrew Zimmerman is a fat, squeamish, little bitch. I'm convinced that he hates everything and whenever he does like any food, it's definitely not strange at all.
