You can find annotated computer-chess games (some, there is not alot of them
AFAIK) here:

http://www.kasparovchess.com/
http://www.chessbase.com/

You have to browse (look) for them, they are not in the ussual "download"
section. I have seen several such annotated games (from tournaments and single
events, based on computer-chess) on those webpage.

If you want just plain computer-chess tournament games, here:

http://www.amateurschach.de/directory/calendar.htm

IIRC CAP II will follow a similar pattern, but I am not exactly sure how it will
work, and probably (obviously) wont be natural-language annotation.
