After over a year’s absence, the El33tonline podcast returns in 2011 to rattle your eardrums with videogame talk of the highest qual… of some quality!

In the first of our weekly series of podcasts going forward, I attend to hosting duties and am joined by El33tonline team member and contributor Tom, and none other than El33tonline’s Editor-in-Chief Lisa!

During the podcast, we discuss our fondness (and release dates) for Mortal Kombat, Duke Nukem Forever, Stacking, and Nintendo’s 3DS, and we air our opinions on news of the region-locked 3DS.

Also in the podcast, Tom helps us dissect the batch of recent Final Fantasy-related news and talks about Faery: Legends of Avalon, while Lisa tells us about her experiences with DC Universe Online, Mass Effect 2 and Get Fit With Mel B for PS3, as well as Michael Jackson: The Experience for Wii.

We then close out with news on two new community events happening here on El33tonline - El33t M33ts and the PS3 Trophy Hunter Competition!

If I do say so myself, this isn’t a bad bit of audio to kick off the year, so if you enjoy absorbing your gaming news through your ears instead of your eyes, grab the El33tonline podcast for the week of January 24th to hear everything mentioned above and much more!
