A new U2 album released in the UK last week, but nobody really noticed, because they were too busy jaunting through bright, deadly Africa in Capcom's Resident Evil 5. As if besting megastar Bono wasn't a big enough accomplishment -- watch your back, Chris and Sheva; Bono doesn't like being number two (NSFW linkage) -- Capcom's game also managed to beat out all of the top 5 movies at the UK box office ... combined. It's likely to be a short-lived victory, however, as games rarely manage to have the staying power other forms of entertainment do in the UK. But, a victory it is nonetheless.
Looks like we know where Capcom is taking us in Resident Evil 6: Hull.

How does Bono make time to work on cds AND save the world? Amazing.

Haha, I was thinking the same thing the other day. That picture is amazing, btw.
Seriously though, as overrated as I think U2 is (haven't heard their latest album) I really respect Bono and don't think he deserves most of the shit he gets- besides the whole wearing sunglasses inside thing. ;-)

Their latest album almost makes up for the crap they released on their last two albums.....almost.
It made me restore faith in the band.
Also its surprising to see RE5 do so good at the UK charts. Who knew?

Why can't you vote someone down to zero hearts where you simply can't even read the comment any more?

Why does Joystiq allow this kind of shit to stay on for longer than a few minutes?

Anyone know if this is calculated by units sold or total revenue? If its by revenue than something selling for 60 dollars isn't going to have to try as hard as something that costs 13 dollars. Just curious...
