Answer this questions and I have a solution for you?
1. Did you change the ROM of the phone
2. Does the phone heat up than it used to before collecting the game
3. Does this happen when you are playing the game

One thing to note is that playing heavy hardcore games has its adverse effect on your mobile battery only, the more you play, the more your phone battery gets weaker, it isn't supposed to affect your phones performance, Basically a game needs: High performing CPU, Good RAM, Graphic Card, Good Space,and Good battery life.
