When Wrestlemania debuted in 1985, it was an high-profile experiment, far from the stadium-filling juggernaut that it is today. In fact, had the closed circuit television event failed, WWE may have gone bankrupt; there would be no Hulkamania, no Austin 3:16, and no Cena Nation. Fortunately for us, WWE’s blend of sports entertainment and celebrity involvement was a mainstream, crossover hit.

Since then, there have been 32 sequels to the “Show of Shows.” And on April 8, 2018, Wrestlemania will return to New Orleans’ Superdome with a star-studded match card. In recognition of over three decades of Wrestlemania moments, here’s a gallery of the best individual matches from each PPV. Hopefully, Wrestlemania 34 will live up to its institutional standard.

For more Wrestlemania coverage, check out the biggest rumors leading up to the event. We have a full match card for you to check out, as well as our predictions. And come back to GameSpot Universe on Sunday, April 8 for live coverage of Wrestlemania 34.

From a value standpoint, buying collector’s editions is a gamble. For every one that becomes an actual collector’s item and soars in value, many of them go nowhere but down. That’s not a problem if you’re buying the game because you like the physical goodies that come with it, but if you’re in it to make a fortune, it’s tough luck.

It’s safe to say Wolfenstien II: The New Colossus Collector’s Edition hasn’t fared well from a value standpoint. But its loss is your gain, because GameStop has this retro-style package for $35, which is great deal, considering it cost $100 when it first came you. You can buy it here on Xbox One or here on PlayStation 4.

Wolfenstien II: The New Colossus Collector’s Edition takes the form of an old-school action figure set that’s actually a propaganda piece from the Nazi-controlled American government. The action figure is B.J. Blazkowicz, but here he’s branded as “Terror-Billy, a cold-blooded killer that must be stopped.” It comes in a 1960s-style box, with a pocket manual, poster, bomber jacket, and an array of weapons.

It also includes the game, of course. In her 9/10 Wolfenstein II review, GameSpot’s Kallie Plagge wrote she enjoyed its combat variety, excellent cutscenes, and crystal-clear anti-Nazi stance.

Acclaimed PC role-playing title Divinity: Original Sin II is coming to Xbox One and PS4. The console release will be published by Bandai Namco and will launch in August 2018. According to the publisher, it will have “a user interface tailored for console,” and four-player online co-op, which proved to be popular in the PC version, will be included. There will also be two-player split-screen co-op support.

“This is an incredible opportunity for us to work with Larian Studios who has already shown its talented work through the previous games,” said Hervé Hoerdt, vice president of marketing and digital at Bandai Namco Europe. “We are extremely pleased to bring this outstanding title to our lineup by offering new epic adventures to console gamers with the deepest RPG worlds ever created”

“It was very important to us to have Divinity: Original Sin II distributed by a team that understands how to bring RPGs to a broad audience,” added Swen Vincke, CEO of developer Larian Studios. “With Dark Souls and The Witcher, Bandai Namco demonstrated they know how to do exactly that and so I’m very happy we’ll have their support.”

In GameSpot’s Divinity: Original Sin II review the game was awarded a 10/10, with critic Brett Todd praised its “immaculately conceived and emotion-wrought fantasy world,” alongside “brilliant tactical combat” that makes it “one of the finest games of the year.”

Divinity: Original Sin II was No.5 in GameSpot’s Best Games of 2017 list. Reflecting on the title, Jess McDonell said it “exceeds the accomplishments of its predecessor as a spectacularly crafted RPG that ranks among the greats of the genre.”

World of Warcraft is officially set to expand again later this year with the release of Battle for Azeroth, which is due out in August. Alongside the standard and Digital Deluxe editions we already knew about, Blizzard has now unveiled the details of the inevitable Collector’s edition, which will launch alongside the game.

The centerpiece of this physical edition is a hardcover, double-sided novella. It tells both the Alliance and Horde perspectives leading into Battle for Azeroth; you can read one story by reading the book in one direction, and another by flipping it over and starting on the other side. These stories will also be published online, though they’ll only be available in physical form through the Collector’s edition.

Also included in the Collector’s edition is a digital soundtrack with music from the new expansion and a collectible coin. Additionally, it comes with the same digital bonuses as the Digital Deluxe edition, which provide goodies for Blizzard’s various games. Most notable are the items used in WoW: there’s a mount (Seabraid Stallion for Alliance, Gilded Ravasaur for Horde) and a pet (the adorable Baby Tortollan). There’s also a Hearthstone card back, StarCraft II Horde and Alliance sprays, a Heroes of the Storm “Primal Flamesaber” mount, and various Overwatch items. These include “Horde- and Alliance-themed voice lines for Torbjorn; emotes for Tracer; Anduin, Jaina, Sylvanas, and Saurfang sprays; and Kul Tiran and Zandalari player icons.”

Battle for Azeroth brings the focus of the narrative back to the classic Horde vs. Alliance conflict. It raises the level cap to 120 and adds new playable allied races, new areas to explore, Warfront mode, and much more. When we got a look at it last year, it was looking like the best intro to the MMO so far. We’ll find out for sure this summer.

Even though World of Warcraft is approaching fourteen years old, Blizzard shows no sign of stopping development on new content. The next expansion, called Battle for Azeroth, releases this summer, and recently Blizzard gave a glimpse of what you can expect from the next chapter of WoW.

With Battle for Azeroth, Blizzard is focusing on making WoW more accessible to new players while also bringing the story back to Warcraft’s roots. You’ll be a witness to and participant in a reignited conflict between the Horde and Alliance, and both factions must mobilize their naval might. Further, Blizzard is introducing numerous new mechanics and modes such as Warfronts, which are 20-player cooperative experiences meant to evoke missions from the RTS Warcraft games.

In the video embedded above, the GameSpot team takes a look at Battle for Azeroth in action. You’ll see some of the new Island Expeditions, which involve three players working together on a rotating set of objectives. The team will compete against another group of three–either AI or real players–from the opposing faction to be the first to complete everything.

Battle for Azeroth launches on August 14 on PC; you can pre-purchase it now for $50 and get immediate access to several quests that unlock four new playable character races. You need WoW and the previous expansion, Legion, to access Battle for Azeroth, but a bundle of all WoW content including BfA costs $90.
