The 5 best mobile games to get lost in these holidays

It’s the end of another year and for most of us that means some time away from the hustle and bustle of office life and a bit of free time to fill with some entertainment. If you’re going away and have hours on a plane or in an airport to kill, these are the mobile games you should be playing.

Borderlands

Tales from the Borderlands

R59.99 (iOS) R55.05 (Android)

Telltale Games are masters of story driven games and their latest foray into the insane world of Pandora is no different. Taking control of a pair of never-before-seen characters, Rhys and Fiona, and a new bad guy, Vasquez. The voice acting, especially that of Vasquez is perfect for the kind of humour that Borderlands games are famous for and makes Tales From the Borderlands a definite must-buy.

Papers Please

Papers Please

R99.99 (iOS) 

Set at a stark Soviet-style border crossing, your job is to decide whether people will be allowed into the country or not. With your pay dependant on how many people make it through the border correctly and your family starving at home, the pressure is on from the moment you start. Unfortunately bureaucracy will drive you to do things against your better judgement for the sake of your family.
