Favorite game of 2011?

[zerothree]

Dark Souls. The end.

Honorable mentions:

Shadows of the Damned - Although a bit too short, I enjoyed the game from beginning to end. It really felt like a sum of it's parts, the obvious Rez Evil (4 and up) gun play (with movement!) mixed with a little bit of a Killer 7 vibe was very enjoyable.

Sonic Generations - Sega finally heard what fans have been asking for, for over a decade. Very pretty, very fast gameplay and a nice helping of nostalgia. Also, bonus for making the modern Sonic stages actually fun and not frustrating, glitchy nightmares.

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection - This kind of doesn't count, but I'm gonna add it anyway. Seriously, three Metal Gear games (technically 6) on one disc? Fuck and yes.
