Romanticisation Versus Reality: How do video games represent 'foreign' land and culture?
Romanticisation Versus Reality is the title of my BA Game Design dissertation. Achieving a 1st, this dissertation intended to explore and analyse the various ways - both positive and negative - modern video games represent foreign land and culture.

Established in the late 16th century, the mountainous area was chosen to home the convent as they fled from pirates and other treacherous things near their previous coastal settlement.
