Various possibilities here. It may be that the game is very processor-intensive and that's what's causing the overheating when you play it. Other use will cause some warmth, but is the phone a "normal" temperature when it's idle? If so, that would tend to point away from a fault. If not, then it's possible that a process is running away. I'd also expect to see excessinve battery use in those circumstances (specifically, at idle). If you're not seeing excessive battery use, but the life is short, then it's possible that the battery is faulty.

I too have notice the phone getting unusually warm since the last firmware upgrade. I put it down to the fact my internet connection on my wifi connection being down once and another time i just figured that I had lost signal.
Its like the phone is too stupid to realise now that the internet is gone and just keeps trying to connect like junkie whos got no more heroin left.
I found turning wifi off and a reboot resolves things .. but I never did experience thie before the last firmware upgrade.

Did you do a factory reset after the last update (especially if it was a major one - 500mb or so)? If you don't do that, bits of the old code can hang around in the system and confuse it, possibly with the results you're seeing.

Been doing some testing of this
First you need to see what is running in the back ground some times after a update this can upset third party apps
you need to look for any apps that do any form of syncing
This also includes Vodafones apps
If a app/Proses is not working it can start to use up CPU and can make things warm
Looking back on my notes from the S3 Facebook hit this wall and had to do a big rethink on there app
a Factory wipe will fix this until you put the app back on
mine is perfectly cold as i manualy sync apps and avoid most social apps
