The International Mobile Gaming Awards has announced its picks for the very best mobile gaming apps of the year. The awards cover games from many different platforms including Android, Linux, and Flash, but unsurprisingly it's iOS that is dominating the awards this year.

The nominees are decided by a panel of industry insiders, but the final voting is open to the public, so get over there and voice your opinion. The field of nominees includes powerhouses like Infinity Blade and Plants vs. Zombies, but also honors smaller indie titles like the bizarre and innovative Papa Sangre.

The awards cover six different categories: Best Sports Game, Best Real World Game (GPS, bluetooth proximity gameplay), Best Casual Game, Excellence in Design, Excellence in Gameplay, and Most Innovative Game. There is also a “People's Choice Award” as well as a “Grand Prix Award” given to the most popular and overall best game (respectively.)

What were your favorite games of the year? Was there anything you would have liked to see nominated? We certainly would have liked to see Game Dev Story and Hook Worlds get a nod.
