If you're missing televised football this year then Ocean have just the answer. Not only does Match Day give thrilling action on your screen, it allows you to take part as well. There is also the added bonus of no referee to blow his whistle for fouls, or to give 'harsh' decisions.

Match Day is a 3D representation of soccer featuring excellent graphics and a nice 'Match of the Day' tune at the start of each game. Options are available for a one player versus computer game, or a two player game.

You define your own keys for up, down, left, right and kick and you are in control of your player nearest to the ball. There are seven players on each team including the goalkeeper who bends his legs when he is ready for action.

The computer controls the players very well and uses good tactics for playing. The heaviest defeat I have inflicted over the computer is 4-1, and likewise the computer has beaten me 3-0.

Overall, if you have £10 to spare this Christmas, Match Day would make an ideal present for football fanatics everywhere.
