Xmas No 1

Forget the Grand National; the big betting event in the UK is the Videogame Christmas Number One. Er, maybe not, but there has been some movement in the yuletide gaming odds. Previous favourite, The Chronicles of Narnia, has plummeted after a shocking sales debut (in at number 30, outsold by a Bratz game..). Obviously sales will pick up when the film arrives, but for now Narnia seems out of the running. According to the bookies the new clear favourite for the Christmas number one slot is chav-boy "classic" Need For Speed: Most Wanted. Its closest rivals are Harry Potter: Goblet of Fire and King Kong, although, according to Ladbrokes, there is a rather worrying dark horse - Crazy Frog Racer. Other prices include Civ 4 at 33-1 and FIFA 06 at 20/1. Gregory Horror Show, sadly, doesn't have a price.
