Getting hyped for video game releases is a lot different 11 than it is at 22 but when Ray Lewis is used as a verbal launching pad in Madden ’13, it’s a different ballgame.

Released on Tuesday, Madden ’13 features the future Hall of Fame linebacker talking about life, football, and championships at the beginning of the game while juxtaposed with NFL footage lurking about.

Leave your mark or die.

If I want anyone giving a motivational speech to football players, kids, waiters, gas station attendants, or a bouncer at Tootsie’s Bar & Grill, Lewis is at the top of list.
