"Dara O&amp;#039;Briain has said that he thinks Skyrim will do well at this year&amp;#039;s GAME British Academy Video Games Awards. The host of the ceremony has said that it could &amp;quot;get the nod&amp;quot; for the major awards, but admitted it&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;chalk and cheese&amp;quot; with the strength and variety of other titles.   &amp;quot;I think [Batman: Arkham City and L.A. Noire] will do great,&amp;quot; O&amp;#039;Briain told Digital Spy. &amp;quot;I have an idea Skyrim might get the nod on the major ones, which still leaves that typical award show thing of picking up the technical alongside it. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t have the full list of nominations in the different categories in front of me, but I&amp;#039;ll be surprised if they came away with nothing. &amp;quot;They&amp;#039;re both incredible achievements. But I do think, even though I&amp;#039;m not a man for &amp;#039;Ragnor, son of Galabol, who fought in the early times&amp;#039;, that Game of Thrones talking stuff, I&amp;#039;m not a fan of [it] but I just found myself getting into Skyrim. It is an astonishing achievement.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Read the full list of nominees at the GAME British Academy Video Games Awards O&amp;#039;Briain later added: &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t know how they&amp;#039;ll go. It&amp;#039;s chalk and cheese. I mean I wouldn&amp;#039;t be offended at any of these things if they managed to get it. &amp;quot;To a certain extent FIFA would be a very interesting choice, an iterative series to go [and win], and that the fact that it seems to be getting better at what it does, that would be a very interesting choice. &amp;quot;But then again, there&amp;#039;s Stephen Merchant&amp;#039;s work [in Portal 2]. It&amp;#039;s a funny game, it&amp;#039;s a genuinely involving storyline, the whole descent of Aperture Science, hard to top that, you know.&amp;quot; Dara O&amp;#039;Briain is hosting the 2012 GAME British Academy Video Games Awards later today at the London Hilton, Park Lane. Watch it live at www.bafta.org/games/awards, or on Challenge TV on Sunday 18th / Monday 19th March. &amp;gt; Read our full Video Game BAFTAs interview with host Dara O&amp;#039;Briain Watch a trailer for Skyrim below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
