    Chronicles of Narnia will win purely because all the parents want to see it, so will take their kids to avoid embarrasment. My vote is on GTA tho.

    Was just on ladbrokes betting on the G Gs and Need for speed has come in to evens favourite , Reckon Smackdown 06 at 25/1 is a good outsider but chucked a tenner on Harry potter at 6/1 with EAs blanket advertising and the film out parents will buy for chrimbo.

    Unfortunatly, i think it will probably be FIFA 2006. But Harry potter will probably be up thier too.

    GTA:LCS is only on the PSP right? FIFA will be out on every platform.

    Surely it would be The Sims 2 if you include all its add-on's! That game is just a money making machine for EA.

    I will go for either King Kong or Harry Potter, mind you I have played the new Harry Potter game and although it looks good the control system is quite weird. It makes you select 2 players and for some reason when you start and its usually Ron and Harry or any 2 man combination of the 3 characters (notice how I navigated round using the girls name there, its a nightmare to spell ! ) Then when I got started I had to select leave with one of the characters to play it as a single player, not good ! I think for some reason it had started a 2 player game even though I only wanted single player. It also doesnt give you many options for the game itself with graphic settings etc..

    I would also think that Narnia will do well with it being an adult favourite.
