ESRB has rated Crazy Taxi for Mac, PC, PSN and Xbox Live Arcade. Issue is that it has not been announced for Mac and PC yet. The game was already released on PC back in 2002.
I assume it will be up on Steam for both Mac and PC. Good news for those that own a Mac, if you own a PC, buy it again.

The SEGA europe blog has just (as in a few minutes ago) announced that European magazine GamesTM is celebrating their 100th issue by releasing 100 alternate covers to represent their list of the top 100 video games. Of course, SEGA is on the list, so we can expect 12 covers to represent our favorite company. See the other six covers after the jump.
Aside from Shenmue and, perhaps, Sonic Adventure, Crazy Taxi is the most iconic franchise the Dreamcast every produced. So it comes as no surprise that the original game has joined Sonic Adventure as one of the first games in the Dreamcast revival SEGA is now pushing. Everyone here knows how the game plays: you play a taxi driver who drives people to far away locations in ridiculously short amounts of times, throwing every traffic law to the wind in the hopes of getting the largest fair possible from the customer.
Big surprise, right?
SEGA has just, finally, officially announced that Sonic Adventure and Crazy Taxi will be coming to the Xbox Live and Playstation Network services later this year. But more then that, apparently these games will be the first in a slew of Dreamcast games that are going to be made available on the service!
The games will be incorporating all new features including HD visuals, leader boards, achievements/trophies, and surround sound. The games will be at E3, so expect coverage from SegaBits and Sonic Stadium!
These games are expected to launch in Europe this autumn.

Seems that there are a lot of leaks on Microsoft’s PartnerNet and the newest one is a XBLA port of Crazy Taxi. It looks legit and it isn’t really shocking that SEGA would want to bring the game into HD consoles. They did do a PSP port. Not to mention B.D. Joe appearing in Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing.
This is not the first leak on XBLA for SEGA, we all recall the Sonic Adventure leak and Sonic 4 leaks. The source even has pictures of Quake Arena leak, that should be fun.

I’m not quite sure how many of you out there have ever entered a game tournament, but a certain SEGA classic, Crazy Taxi, will be making an appearance as one of the games selected to appear at the Iron Man of Gaming 2010. But there’s more! The final mystery game that appears at the tournament is also a SEGA game from the looks of things. If you feel your particular set of gamer skills are enough to win the tournament or just a hardcore Crazy Taxi fan looking for a bit of competition, how about you give it a try?
SEGA has announced that they will be having a Valentine’s day sale on their PSN content; the games listed this time are the same as their New Years sale it seems. They promised that this time they will have bundles, something that was missing from the last sale.
Crazy Taxi, Full Auto 2, Sonic Unleashed DLC, Valkyria Chronicles DLC, and Sonic Rivals 1 and 2 have all been confirmed to be in the sale. Maybe SEGA will make a really nice Valkyria Chronicles DLC bundle for us.
