If I really only had to choose one,
Dark Souls
There weren't any good story based games that come to mind for 2011, but I might be forgetting something...
Don't think so though. Except Corpse Party, which is awesome and a definite honorable mention, but I wasn't satisfied with it enough to allow it to surpass Dark Souls.
Skyrim was fun and interesting, and large. But Dark Souls' gameplay and difficulty easily skwered Skyrim. I loved the crap out of it.
Saints Row the third...eh there's a lot of honorable mentions, but basically the only game I was excited for, got at launch, and was giddy like a school girl for months for, was Dark Souls
and before I post I remember, Fate/Extra.
That was also an awesome game, with an interesting story. Mostly because the Fate universe itself is just fucking awesome. But still, story didn't compensate enough to make it surpass Dark Souls.

Xenoblade Chronicles, without a doubt. I also really enjoyed Portal 2 and Skyward Sword, but I liked Xenoblade Chronicles a lot more.
Zelda: skyward sword.
Runners-up are portal 2, and xenoblade: chronicles. Oh, and if I can vote for someone else: my girlfriend would no doubt nominee Kirby: epic yarn (it came out in February this year in Europe).
Haven't played skyrim, so no comments on that.
(I'd also mention 999, but it came out last year...just never heard of it 'til now).

Mario Kart 7
RAGE
I dunno how to choose which one. I had a lot of fun with both and it felt pretty equal the fun factor.

I can't decide between Mario Kart 7 and Skyward Sword, but because Skyward Sword is a bigger games I'll just put my vote to

I played many great games but honestly the most fun I had was with Skyward Sword. It was just so damn well crafted over all. Thought Portal 2, BatmanAC and SM3DLand were great as well. One game I think is very underrated is Ghost Trick. I would say it is among my Top 5 this year!

@AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.+2 -

Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other. -

I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.

I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.+1 -

I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet

Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.

Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol

Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150
