The 5 best games for iPhone and iPad this week - March 24th

By , on March 24, 2017

Another week rolls to its mandated end. The time for work is almost over, the time for hoping work doesn't start again is about to begin. But how best to enjoy the leisure time your capitalist masters have granted you?

Well, I don't like to tell people what to do, but you could have a crack at one of the five best iOS games that came out last week. Hell, you could have a crack at all of them if you really wanted to.

With that in mind, here they all are in handy list form. As ever, click on the emboldened name of one of the games and you'll be able to download it. Don't say I never do anything for you. And make sure you come back next week to rejoice in the glory of mobile gaming all over again.

The Elder Scrolls: Legends - Free

The almost inevitable CCG set in the Elder Scrolls universe. Collect cards and decks and battle against AI and real-life opponents. It's slick, it's easy to pick up and play, and while it might not be as addictive as Hearthstone, it's still well worth a look.
