There’s simulators for just about everything these days: powerwashing, farming, running an animal rescue, village development… take your pick. There’s something I’ve never done, though: drive a taxi.

Today’s Xbox Partner Preview promised a half-hour of trailers, and honestly – considering it was Xbox, after all – about half of the games seem really interesting. Of course there are some boring old shooties in there, but look past that and there are some very creative, appealing titles. I’ve…
