Synopsis
Is gaming the new going out? Gamers are queuing to get into shops at midnight to get hold of Call of Duty 4. And, are "mediums" a con? Derek Acorah held a séance in which he "channelled" Michael Jackson.
Plus, does it matter if Cadbury's stops being British and has President Obama lived up to the hype? More than a year since he was elected, there's controversy over whether he's accomplished what he said he would.
