PhoneArena Awards: Best games of 2015

There is only one rule for this round-up: only games released in 2015 qualify. So if you're wondering where is your favorite game and why is it not included, do not forget that it may have been released in 2014 or earlier.
The best games in every category
With thousands (literally!) of great new games for Android and iOS in 2015, it was a particularly challenging task to narrow it down to just a few dozen. In order to be perfectly fair, we have tried to break the top picks in a few game genres that we find are the most common on mobile: first and third-person shooters, action RPGs / hack'n'slash games, fighting games, adventure, platformers, puzzlers, racing games, casual releases of various genres, indie releases with particular non-commercial ambience, sports games and, finally, ports from PC or the console world.Without wasting any further time, we kick if off with the best first and third-person shooters for Android and iOS right below. Browse through the pages to see the winners in the other genres and let us know your favorites in the comments section below.

Once again, this is a list of only the best games *RELEASED* in 2015, not the best games of ALL TIME. Vainglory for Android was in fact released in 2015 for Android, but it's been around for much longer on iOS, and this is the reason why it did not make the cut.
Disclaimer: This is the reason why Asphalt 8, Modern Combat 5, and a bunch of others are not in this list - they were NOT released in 2015, but way earlier.

On the subject of games released before 2015, noticed that Tales from the Borderlands was not included in 2014's list. That coupled with he fact that 80% of the game was released in 2015 makes me wonder why it's not included this year.

Just a simple question
From which console or PC Lara Croft Relic Run is ported from?
I know that Tomb Raider 2 is new this year to Android and was ported from PC but Tomb Raider Relic Run looks like a mobile game just like Temple Run.

I'd disagree with nfs:nl as a good racing title, Races are very short and boring, too easy if you'd ask me . graphics were pretty disappointing too,I'd say most wanted pretty much beats it in every aspect.

NFS Most Wanted is still the best they've released.

Mobile gaming is the only platform where sequels get worse in terms of game play and graphics.
They should bring Porsche Challenge to mobile devices with updated visuals, they would have to simplify the controls a little but it would still be awesome.

I have been studying your entries all the way through my morning holiday, and I should admit the entire article has been very enlightening and very well written. I assumed I’d mean you can understand that for a few reason this blog does not view smartly in Internet Explorer 8. I want Microsoft might prevent converting their software. I’ve a question for you. Might you mind changing weblog roll hyperlinks? That may be in reality neat! visit us at://ww.games.lol/card/
