Print I Love You is a small game played more for the experience than the gameplay. The premise is that someone who bought a used laptop found some code for a game created by the previous owner and decided to share the game with the world. The game is a love letter to one Alice Print, a collection of three mini games that represent the programmer’s desire to hold hands with Alice, take her clothes shopping, and go on a dinner date. The games are quite simple and easy to play/beat.

The Caribou Trail tells the tale of a small corner of World War I that doesn’t get as much attention in games and film as the trenches of France. It is set during the Gallipoli campaign, the disastrous Allied attempt to invade the Ottoman Empire, and focuses on the experience of a squad in the Royal Newfoundland Regiment. You play as Fisher, who navigates the terror and drudgery of trench life with his friends Gordon and Lonnie.

Alienware created a gaming lounge at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con where visitors could play game demos on Alienware’s latest gaming rigs, laptops, and monitors. There was also the ubiquitous Comic-Con booth prize wheel where you could try your luck to win Alienware gear, and in the back of the booth behind some panels was hidden one of the most unique activations I’ve ever seen at a con before, and I’ve been to a lot of cons. But more on that in bit.
