Leon, in most cases you don't need to be connected to WiFi or even to the Internet via 3G if all you're doing is playing games while travelling.
Of course, if you want to browse the web then you're going to need a connection and some games do indeed require a connection ... but not many.
My wife and I do use an iPad as well as our iPhones to amuse ourselves while travelling.
Probably the biggest issue is motion sickness. If you're prone to nausea while reading in a car or on a bus, you'll experience the same with a tablet.
We also use the iPhones and iPad for email and casual web browsing while we're away, but in reality we've found a small netbook computer to be more practical.
One thing the iPad excels at is as a book reader. I used to hate reading on a screen rather than a proper book but recently I purchased a book for the iPad and loved it. The interface is very comfortable and the experience was so good I doubt I'll buy too many "real" books in future ... particularly given the the electronic versions are a great deal cheaper!
I've had a good amount of both professional and personal exposure to tablets from a variety of vendors including Apple and Samsung and the experience has been that the iPad has proven the most reliable as well as being the easiest and most intuitive to use.
