The 2012 GAME British Academy Video Game Awards were held today, and names like Skyrim, Bastian, and Nintendo were nowhere to be found. BAFTA—the British Academy of Film and Television Arts—are of course a big name in the world of entertainment. Today, the organization held their video games-related awards ceremony. The interesting part? A number of big names went home empty handed—names such as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Bastian, and anything released by Nintendo. Here are the list of winners: Story: Portal 2 Original Music: L.A.
