At first, Best Buy's literature for the new Madden game seems pretty basic: Build a dynamic dynasty, draw hot routes, execute slow-motion chain kills, etc.
Wait...whu? Yes, you read that.
"Execute slow-motion chain kills, pickpocket unsuspecting victims, pursue your enemies in a canoe and more using the PS Vita's unique features."
At first I thought maybe, just maybe, there would be some Mutant League Football moments coming to Madden '13, but that just wasn't the case. So what's the deal, is this the new Ray Lewis mode, or is O.J. Simpson getting a cameo?
Unfortunately, none of the above. It's obviously just a simple mix up between EA's Madden '13 and Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed 3. How the mix up happened, Best Buy has yet to say. But the results are humorous nonetheless. Maybe Michael Vick will host a dog show during half-time.
