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.
 
For ease of record-keeping, here is the list of nominees as it currently stands:

TES V Skyrim
Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Portal 2
Mario Cart 7
RAGE
Xenoblade Chronicles
Kirby's Epic Yarn
Batman: Arkham City
Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception
Dark Souls
Corpse Party
Saints Row: The Third
Fate/Extra
The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky
 
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
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Even though Mario Kart is my favorite game :P
 
Bastion was an amazing little game, but I'll have to give my vote to *POrTAl TwO.

* anyone remember that?
 
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!
