Even though SEGA focuses its attention on the games as opposed to the hardware nowadays, the company's Dreamcast console lives fondly in the memory of those who had the pleasure of playing it. One of the most popular titles to land on SEGA's last major console effort was Crazy Taxi, which tasked the player to pick up as many fares as they could within a set time while also pulling off various stunts. Like many games of times passed, Crazy Taxi has since been ported through to mobile devices, and after a successful run-out, Crazy Taxi: City Rush is now available to those rocking an iPhone or iPad.

Since being announced at this year’s BUILD developers’ conference, the tech world has remained fascinated by Microsoft’s Windows Phone 8.1. Given that Cortana, the company’s first mobile voice assistant, has commanded the lion’s share of attention since rolling out with WP8.1, it shouldn’t come as much of a shock that in today’s update to the mobile software, it’s once again the center of attention.
