World regarded rag EDGE has compiled a list of the 100 greatest ever video games – and PlayStation has secured four of the top five slots. Dark Souls topped the list, with Grand Theft Auto V, The Last of Us, Bloodborne, and Half-Life 2 rounding out the top five. Sony must be rubbings its hands over that lineup – especially with the likes of Tetris coming in just behind.

In truth, the entire thing makes for really pleasant reading if you're a PlayStation fan: ICO, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, and Journey all finished high. The list does seem to be skewed towards modern releases a bit, but the magazine stressed that it didn't want nostalgia to cloud its judgment. "Each game has to stand up today," it wrote, "rather than making the cut for historic significance."

This author's top five would probably include Shenmue II, Super Mario 64, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Resident Evil 4, and Shadow of the Colossus in it – but Bloodborne is definitely your humble host's game of the year so far. Do you agree with the lineup, or is it all wrong? What would be your top five? Scream like you mean it in the comments section below.
