Tuesday Shorts – Minecraft grass, Lady Gaga, LOTRO update, more

It’s Tuesday morning in your time zone, which means it’s cocktail hour in mine. Enjoy these shorts while I slip off to the pub.

• Minecraft is getting more realistic grass. Yep. That’s happening.
• If you live in Australia or New Zealand, you could win 100,00 MS Points, but everyone else has already made the joke about map packs, so let’s leave it there.
• There’s a new official Lady Gaga Tap Tap Revenge iPhone game.
• Lord of the Rings Online’s third update is live. Ring out the bells.
• Some scurvy dog has stolen Tiny Wings’ iOS code and cloned it on Android. Not cool.
• The list of contributors to Play For Japan’s album has been released. There’s some ace stuff from top game music gurus, and profits will go to Japanese disaster relief funds.
• LEGO Universe is now richer by one Nexus Tower.
• Tales of Xillia will apparently include lots of cut scenes and voice acting. Yay! Plenty of time to impatiently mash buttons.
