What better way to celebrate Labor Day than by eschewing all forms of labor, instead kicking back with your phone or tablet and rocking some serious run-and-gun action?

To help you accomplish that nation-honoring act of laziness, Gameloft is offering three Android games on the cheap.

Throughout the weekend, you can get Gangstar Rio: City of Saints, Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation, and N.O.V.A. 3: Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance from Google Play for 99 cents apiece.

These titles normally sell for $6.99 each, meaning you're getting for three bucks what would normally cost you $21.

Gangstar Rio does its best Grand Theft Auto impression, offering you an open but mission-enhanced world in which to drive, fly, and wreak mayhem on foot.

Modern Combat 3 brings the popular console game to Android, with all the same blistering military-shooter action. CNET's Scott Stein named the iOS version one of the top iPhone 4S games.

Finally, N.O.V.A 3 serves up a similarly action-packed dose of running and gunning, this time with an interplanetary sci-fi theme.

Interestingly, each game is the third in its series -- a trilogy of trilogies, if you will. If you own a compatible Android device and can scrape together three bucks (or two bucks or even just one), you're in for some mighty good gaming this weekend.
