A few more games were released to kick off the Labor Day holiday weekend, and one was most likely tailored just for those Labor Day sales department stores like to host. The pickings may still be slim, but they contain a couple of goodies.

Glow Hockey ($1.99) - This is yet another air/table hockey game, but its hockey table is beaming with neon lights.

Fashion Mogul ($1.99) - This business tycoonish game lets players run their own fashion boutique, where they will have to hand-pick their inventory, set up all store displays, and even arrange the clothes to increase sales. Staff needs to be hired as well, and occasionally a shoplifter will stop by that will need to be stopped. As the cash till increases, larger shops can be purchased in larger cities. This game can almost guarantee that you'll never look at a clothing store the same way ever again!

iCaptain ($.99) - Take the role of an unknown captain trying to make a name for himself in this massively multiplayer online game. Build a fleet of canoes, Viking ships, pirate ships, or one of the many other varieties of ships to battle other captains on the high seas. As players expand their fleets, scenarios will unlock that will provide additional ships including submarines, tankers, and time traveling ships.

Parking Slide ($.99) - Who loves trying to wade their way through overly crowded parking lots, such as after a professional football game? This game reenacts that frustration a little bit, but with a tiny mini-cooper and other obstacles, such as sand pits, oil slicks, and bulldozers.

Stack Master ($.99) - There are a few other stacking games out there, but this one requires players to tilt the iPhone to keep the stack balanced. There are also other obstacles out there to keep players on their toes other than the usual problem with physics and gravity. Those who have liked the other stacking games, may want to give this one a try since it offers some unique elements.

Star Defense Prelude (free) - In this prequel to the extremely popular Star Defense game, players can play and defend Outpost D-13 before the S-rath invaded. The gameplay is still tower defense, so everything still in real time to force players to respond quickly in building towers to defend the planetary outpost. The graphics look incredible, and it appears to have everything for both sci-fi and tower defense fanatics.

Tap Scotch ($.99) - Test your speed-tapping skills with this hopscotch-inspired tapping challenge. It has 24 levels of challenging tests, so it already beats other tap-testers out there, such as VelociTap.
