Captivate 09 has come and gone, and fans can expect lots of good news tomorrow when the media embargo is over.

The experience was really great. As a Capcom fan, I would have been elated for a bus ticket to a Holiday Inn in Dubuque, IA to check out Capcom games. So the fact that that I was sent, for free, to Monaco is unbelievable. It was great to meet a lot of the people behind Capcom-Unity, a few other lucky fans, and some cool folks from the gaming press.

I talked with Sven a lot about Unity over a few fancy rounds, and it sounds like the site is only going to get better. Capcom fans really have a lot of good stuff coming to them in the next few years.

The hotel was magnificent. It was definitely the most posh place that I have ever been to.

The hotel had the most comfortable bed ever, yet tragically, I found only few hours to sleep the whole time I was there.

(This is where all of the blogging action took place)

Capcom also took us to a couple of really swanky eateries. The Cafe de Paris had the best prosciutto I've ever had, and I miss it terribly.

After dinner, we were driven to a yacht where partying commenced. Amid the free drinks I was able to talk to some developers and learn a lot about what is going to make Spyborgs and Dead Rising 2 so awesome. 

All of the gaming presentations were really exciting. There wasn't a single game that didn't go beyond my expectations. I kept waiting for one of the sequels to just look incrementally better, but they all look to really push their respective series in exciting directions.

Getting hands-on time with some of the games was really exciting. I will definitely have more to say about that tomorrow!

(Bionic Commando multiplayer did not disappoint)

Tomorrow I will have my general overview of the games that I saw, and a more in-depth blog about Spyborgs. After a long talk with Daryl about the game, I really have a lot to say about it, and I think Capcom fans should definitely give it a chance.

Please feel free to ask my any questions, and let me know what you'd like to read about!
