It's a tad on the freezing side tonight here in Los Angeles as I write this with temps hitting in the 30's, which admittedly is no big deal in many areas of the country but here it makes people a tad out of sorts. With all this chilly weather, there's nothing I can think better than to curl up in front of a fireplace, pick up my Nexus 7 and fire up the gorgeous, part art, part game experience that is 'Contre Jour'. If you haven't played 'Contre Jour' yet then you're in for a treat. Here's some game play footage to get you in the mood for what's in store.
