Daniel Johnson @ Gamasutra: "The greatest challenge in writing a column on the relationship between video games and culture is being familiar with the cultural norms and practices of communities from around the world, and then being able to draw on this information at will.
Within my own sphere of cultural knowledge, I'm personally well acquainted with Australian and Chinese culture, less so the rest of the world. Given my familiarity on the topic, it's only fitting that I take a squiz at a game that features an Aussie bloke.
PSP spy-thriller Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow is a title from a franchise rich in ethnic stereotypes (Somalians are pirates, Russians are evil, Americans are the saviours of the world)-- but oddly enough, many cross-ethnic partnerships too (an American-Chinese lead duo, making friends with the Russians)."
