I was just thinking about how great 2011 was for gamers, and I was wondering...what where your favorite games for this year?

One game per Genre, two if you're split between two games, and also list the system that you played the game on. Also, the game didn't have to release this year to be counted. Just your favorite games that you've played last year.

Action/Adventure
Puzzle
RPG
FPS
TPS
SRPG
2D Platformer (Like Super Mario Bros 3)
3D Platformer (Like Super Mario 64)
Fighter
Racing
Creation/Simulation/Sandbox game
Favorite New Series
Music/Rhythm
Retro Style
Favorite game of 2011
Best Superhero/Comic Style Title
Hack N Slash

I won't be adding Game of the Year...I personally find that category ridiculous. :T

Feel free to let me know if I've missed any categories.

My list is as follows:

Action/Adventure - Arkham City/LoZ: Skyward Sword (PS3/Wii)
Puzzle: Portal 2 (PS3/PC)
RPG: Radiant Historia
FPS: Conduit 2 (Granted, this was just about the only new FPS I've played)
TPS: Uncharted: Drakes Deception (PS3)
SRPG: Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones (3DS Ambassador Program)
2D Platformer: Rayman Origins (PS3/Wii)
3D Platformer: Super Mario 3D Land
Fighter: Battletoads (NES)
Racing: MK7 (3DS)
Favorite New Series: Sly Cooper (PS3 HD Classics)
Retro Style: Cave Story (DSi)
Favorite Multiplayer - Little Big Planet 2/Rayman Origins
Favorite game of 2011 - Pushmo
Best Superhero/Comic Style Title - inFamous 2

As I said, feel free to tell me if there are other Genres that I may have missed, and I will promptly add them to the list.

EDIT: Added Racing and Creation/Simulation/Sandbox genres to the list, at the reminding of Brian6330.

EDIT: Added most favorite multiplayer and favorite game of 2011 at the suggestion of Domini N.

Action/Adventure - tLoZ: Skyward Sword (I think this belongs here o.O)
Puzzle: Portal 2 (I still have to finish the co-op campaign...
RPG: Bastion
SRPG: Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones
Platformer: Rayman Origins
Creation/Simulation/Sandbox game: Minecraft
Racing: MK7

If you had more categories there might be 1 or 2 more games, but I didn't get to play a lot of games this year, because of saving money for a 3DS.


(The ones in bold are 2 I think you're missing.)

Well, they didn't have to be released in 2011. Just games that were your favorite for 2011, regardless of their release.

[DANT3]

Action/Adventure: Shadow of the Colossus
RPG: Final Fantasy 4
FPS: Team Fortress 2
2D Platformer: Sonic Advance
3D Platformer: Super Mario Sunshine
Fighter: SSB/SSBM/SSBB/UMvC3... Too many to choose from
Racing: Mario Kart 7

Overall favourite: A perfect tie between Majora's Mask and Shadow of the Colossus, easily my two favourite games of all time, even surpassing Smash. Both of them are perfect examples of a game as art, and both are just straight up epic. Like, not even the overused, internet epic, I mean they are literally epic games.
