Best Video Games of 2011

The Top Ten
1 Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

This game has graphics that can compete with those of 2015, which is pretty damn impressive. The scenery is beautiful and gameplay intense.

Skyrim is just great, combat is clunky not a huge problem but I hope they can improve on in TES 6, but the visuals and adventuring is the best!

Come on we're talkung about Skyrim here!
It's one of the best games I ever played, it deserves to be on the top!

2 Batman: Arkham City

The gameplay, story, immersion, soundtrack, combat, exploration, puzles, all of the aspects mentioned here are very well done in this game and in my honest opinion, this is the best game of 2011 and one of the greatest games of 7th generation, it made you feel like you were The Dark Knight himself especially in Predator missions which were pretty intense especialy later in the game. I played this game from start to fully finishing it, and man what a great game, it will never be forgotten, Rocksteady really outdid themselves with this game.

3 Portal 2

Portal 2 is the turning point for game innovation. You can actually feel all the hard effort put into it. It's seamless. The characters, dynamic, interesting, original. Gameplay, clean, precise, entertaining. The story is thought-provoking, well-established, and easy to immerse yourself into. The ending, just breath-taking, really. The cerebral gameplay is also highly beneficial. It's puzzle-solving, what's not cerebral about it? The comedy is effective (albeit a bit edgy), bringing life into the intentionally claustrophobic atmosphere. You'll love this game, without a doubt. Play it for yourself and you'll know.

4 Mortal Kombat

This game put Mortal Kombat Universe on new level. The graphics is amazing, the characters are very cool.

This game is 2D. 2D game play BUT 3D graphics.

MK9 has the best replay value out of any of the games on this list.

5 Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

So much better than any other game, only reason why its not #1 is because it's a ps3 exclusive and most people have Xbox, most Xbox gamers hate ps3 just because they have Xbox, plus they didn't play it.

The only reason why its not #1 is because it's a ps3 exclusive not everyone has played it. Easily my favorite game. Should have won GOTY. PS I love how skyrim won but it isn't that high on this list.

Sequel to one of the greatest games of all time.

6 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

Come on! Call of duty black ops was great, every year, the game series gets better graphics and more realistic gameplay. So Modern Warfare 3 will be the best of 2011.

Modern Warfare 3 is overall a good game but I still don't know why people dislike it so much. The campaign is good and the ending is amazing. Come on people.

Yes, come on this will probably be the best COD, it is the sequel to Modern Warfare 2

7 Battlefield 3

Most played fps on PC and Xbox 360 (IGN). Epic 8 maps including 20 Premium Maps. Winner of best gun weapon selection and vehicles.

8 The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Sometimes, I just like to go to the sand sea and sail around. Sometimes I like to fly around in the sky at night. Sometimes I just like to swim around Lake Floria. It is a very fun game with great environments. The world is huge but compressed and there is content everywhere. Many people target this is a point of criticism saying that it removes the open world aspect of Zelda. In my opinion, not really. You still feel like you are discovering a new, unknown world. To me, the compression of content in the overworld tells me that they spent a lot of time with it. It is the greatest game of all time!

9 Dark Souls
10 Gears of War 3

Much like uncharted gears three is likely so far back do to being and exclusive. But the action, graphics, writing, story, and plot twists are all upgraded in gears three, and it's defenatly the best in the series and one of the 360s greatest games

The Contenders
11 Dead Space 2

I love everything about this game. Original DS game was awesome but this sequel is no less impressive. Superb Atmosphere

12 Saint's Row: The Third

Duke Nukem? Seriously? There are a bunch of games that were so good, but this was just my favourite.

13 L.A. Noire

This not only a game but a detective simulator!

14 Mass Effect 2

Though I do love this game, I believe it came out in 2010, not 2011, so can it be here?

15 LittleBigPlanet 2

Not having played many of the others of his list, I really thing this is an awesome game. Or, should I say, awesome games. You can do almost everything online, I played ' moon lander with my sister, witch brings me to the next point, it is a game for every one, of every age, and is fun. The single player was awesome too.. Great game, one of the best PS3 exclusives!

16 Sonic Generations

This game is truly an excellent game. It allows for a nostalgia trip, while incorporating that into a game that still manages to stay fresh. Remixes of certain tracks are well done, levels provide a fun challenge, and challenge modes allow for a high replay value of this game. A must have for any Sonic fan.

I don't understand how the atrocious duke nuke forever is above this game

This should at least be in the top 10 it was a great revival to the series

17 Duke Nukem Forever

How is this game even able to be given a number? This makes that crappy powerpuff girls ps2 game look good. Crappy on the then, crappy now, and crappy forever.

18 Killzone 3
19 Infamous 2
20 Amnesia: The Dark Descent

I love this game, but it came out in 2010, not the year 2011.

21 Pokemon Black

WOW! Graphics, story line and the great new use of 3D makes this game NO.1

22 Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds
23 Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games
24 Total War: Shogun 2

Pure awesomeness. This game takes an already great franchise and makes it better
