Oh right. Well awful accents aside, it's a favourable representation I think.
Although I don't think games *set* in a country are what op is talking about. It's not stereotyping characters when you need to present a great variety of them for plot purposes.

we can remove engineer since they are definitely not as intelligent as the doctor or spy.

Hell even Runescape has fucking decent British voice actors now. Yet whenever the yanks have a British character they get an American to voice them.

The only real Italian stereotype I can think of at the top of my head is from a game where Italy doesn't even exist

He's loud, brash, dramatic, kind of dim, and lot of people in game finds him charismatic. The translators saw fit to give him a thick stereotypical Italian accent in a world everyone else has variety of brit accents.
