| Video games fight for Christmas top spot The crop of computer and video games vying for 2005's most important number one spot has been announced by Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association in collaboration with the Ladbrokes. As usual, the list of candidates includes a wide range of diverse genres catering for all age groups. However, leading the line-up with releases across six hardware formats is an upcoming interpretation of a much-loved children's classic: Buena Vista's film tie-in epic, The Chronicles Of Narnia. The Christmas Number One has traditionally been a fervently contested position, with many surprises over its 10-year history. Last year's results were no exception. EA's Need For Speed Underground 2 stole the top spot from Rockstar's record-breaking GTA: San Andreas, securing another Christmas Number 1 for EA, who had enjoyed a similar surprise win with Medal Of Honour: Pacific Assault in 2003.
