Back in April, I was standing in a Miami beach-front hotel talking to people from Capcom, the games publisher that invited people like me to check out their new games. (We paid our own way, if you care). I joked that they could up the ante and do their event in Dubai next year. Too expensive, they laughed.
Not too expensive for Capcom’s sometimes-rival Namco, I guess.
Namco’s been holding an event in the world’s most luxurious city this week. We’re not there, though we’re catching the news that’s been trickling out.

The main accommodations are the Madinat Jumeirah resort. One could say that the place is impressive.
I was hoping that games reporters who went out there had captured some of the local flavor, but so far, the best I’ve found is an upside-down video of a nice hotel room.
