Do you remember when we told you that OlliOlli was coming to destroy your face on the Vita later this month?

It turns out that the twitchy skateboarding sim was just the beginning of the Vita's assault on your mug.

A post over on the PlayStation Blog confirmed that Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z, TxK, and Dustforce are all en route to Sony's wonderful handheld as part of the PS Vita PLAY program.

What's more, PlayStation Plus members can score a nice discount on these four games during their launch week.

Jeff Minter's TxK is a geometric remake of Tempest 2000, and it's sure to score you indie hipster cred with your PSN friends when it launches stateside on February 11. The retro space shooter will cost $9.99 (~£6.99) at full price or $7.99 to PS Plus members.

Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z, meanwhile, is a perfect game for those who like diving into team-based, spikey haired franchise fighters and yelling 'Kamehameha!' whenever they blast an opponent into defeat. It's coming to the Vita on January 28 for $39.99 - although PS Plus members can pick it up for $31.99. Happily, there's a playable demo available here.

Finally there's Dustforce, an indie platformer that has you take control of one of four janitors attempting to save a world from dust and filth. It's full of retro-platformer goodness like double jumping and wall jumping, and it'll only set you back $9.99 when it's released on February 4. Once again, PS Plus members can pick it up for $7.99.

The real incentive behind the the PS Vita PLAY program is that you'll also receive a SEN wallet credit if you buy more than one title.

Buying two of the above games (including OlliOlli) earns you $3, buying three gets you $6, and if snatch up all four you'll see $10 in your account courtesy of Sony.
