Just save your android apps apk files and next time even without internet you can download those applications and games directly from your phone or SD card. But you may have to update them to get latest current version if any updates available. The best application I have used for saving your application apk files is App Backup & Restore.
Backup using Titanium Backup: This is another good application to backup your applications on your SD card or your phone memory. But unlike above application I mentioned, this application need rooted android phone to work. Yes if your phone is not rooted then this will not work for you. As it required root access, it also serves better backing up features. The above application I mentioned only backups apk files of your applications. Means you can just re-install them. But using titanium backup you can also backup data of your current applications with apk files. All applications will be back up with their data.
