New mini-game for Lord of the Rings Online expansion web site launches

A few weeks ago Turbine launched the official web site for their upcoming MMO expansion pack Lord of the Rings Online: The Mines of Moria with one of three planned browser based mini-games. Now the second mini-game has launched on the site and it's a comedic Flash game called Swig and Toss.

The title pretty much describes the game itself. Its designed around a virtual pub where you "drink" from the game's ale and then bet that you can hit a distant target with one of your axes. The problem? Drinking causes your aim (i.e. your mouse cursor) to get blurry and go off target. Winning the game will unlock more content (videos, screenshots and special in-game items) for the Mines of Moria web site giving players of Turbine's MMO more info into the expansion's features. The expansion itself is due for release later this fall.
