Homefront. They played it up like it was going to be a Half-Life 2-style guerrilla warfare game, with some really cool toys like Goliath. Turns out it was a really bad Modern Warfare clone, and the Goliath sections sucked.
Least favorite 2011 game.

Heh, I knew there was something about him the first time Phelps meets him in the stabbing case on the Traffic desk. It was the way he smirked. When one of the bartenders interviewed on one of the murders said "It was just me and the temp", not to mention that all the victims were drunk(s), my spidey-sense started tingling like mad.
So yeah, the most boring desk of them all.

OP: Of all the games I've played that came out 2011 - all four of them - I'll have to say that L.A. Noire probably was the worst of them. I enjoyed it, but there was so much potential squandered. Not to mention I disliked Phelps. A lot.
I do wish there was a chance for a sequel-of-sorts, using what they learnt from L.A. Noire to make a better game. My never-to-be-realised dream is a game with Jack Kelso as the main character making a living in Las Vegas as a private eye in the 1950's, or maybe Chicago or somewhere.
(Just not New York. It would make a great backdrop but I'm sick of New York and its clones in games.)
Haven't bought that many games released this year(5-7 or something), and I had a great time with all of them. I'd say the one I enjoyed the least was Deus Ex: Human Revolution though. I was expecting a too much. 
MW3, even with COD's decline into obsessive K/D deathmatchs, this effort (If any was put into this game) is truly pathetic, I used to think that COD blops was bad, now I see that it is a stack of diamonds next to the puddle of stale urine that is, to me, MW3
Arkham City. Gameplay was fine, I didn't like the constantly respawning gunmen who would always be on your case when you were trying to explore, and I don't think the city was very easy to get around in. The predator segments were also less successful than Arkham Asylum in my book
What bugged me the most was the story/game environment though. I've compiled a list of inane questions about a fictional universe for your enjoyment though.

1. Why is Strange so intent on building arkham city and then killing all the inmates? I realize that he was being manipulated by Ras Al Ghul, which leads to...
2. Why is Ras Al Ghul so intent on building arkham city and then killing all the inmates? Why is his headquarters directly underneath a giant prison?
3. Why is Clayface working for Joker? Why did he take the antidote rather than having the actual Joker take it?
4. Why did the Gotham city council allow their police department, natural history museum, courthouse, and industrial district, among other things, to be part of arkham city? Why wouldn't they leave important stuff on the outside and use the slums or something as the prison?
5. Why is half the city falling into the water? Earthquakes in New York? Sorry, "New York"?
6. Why are the museum and a nightclub known for its prominent criminal presence part of the same building? Moreover, why is there a giant room full of water between them?
7. Why is Nora Fries in Arkham in the first place? She's very difficult to move or store. Maybe she was the to start with, because why would anyone smuggle her in?
8. What type of prison includes wide open access to a major body of water as well as functional and unprotected boats?
Arkham Asylum had a simple but well paced and told story within a logical and well designed space. Arkham City's story was simply an excuse to string as many villain appearances as possible together in a space constructed to string as many Batman references as possible together. I only played four games this year, but even with Skyrim's many bugs, this game just didn't impress or amuse me that much
