Deus Ex: Human Revolution

1. Deus Ex: Human Revolution

A worthy successor to the original.

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings

2. The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings

Amazing setting and a story with a great sense of player choice and consequence. The combat has some problems, specifically the lack of a dodge cancel during attack animations and I was compelled to play the game on easy to enjoy the great story.

Fight Night Champion

3. Fight Night Champion

FNC fuses my strange obsession with boxing and video games. It has many improvements over FNR4 including an interesting story mode. This is the first sports game that I spent significant time in the online mode. Very fun.

Gears of War 3

4. Gears of War 3

Bastion

5. Bastion

Bulletstorm

6. Bulletstorm

Excellent gameplay and the story does a wonderful job of turning an annoying anti-hero into a sympathetic main character.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine

7. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine

Space Marines!!!! I have thoroughly enjoyed all of Relic's Warhammer 40k games. The setting is great.

L.A. Noire

8. L.A. Noire

Mortal Kombat

9. Mortal Kombat

Great Story Mode and gameplay. I never took it online but I enjoyed the offline modes a quite a bit.

Mount & Blade: Warband

10. Mount & Blade: Warband

This is not a 2011 game but I discovered it then and put in well over 100 hours into the main campaign and the Pendor mod.
