As discovered by a user on the PlayStation Forums then reported by other gaming sites, L.A.I.R. is the first PS3 title to be compatible with Remote Play on the PSP. We’ve tried it with our preview copy of L.A.I.R. and can confirm that it does work.

It’s a pretty big development and a video has sprung up on YouTube to confirm that it does work. Check it out.

After reading what various game review sites and magazines thought about L.A.I.R, I was really looking forward to getting my hands on it. You take the role of Rohn, who rides a veracious dragon defending the skies for the Asylian civilisation – currently at war with the Mokai. The game involves fierce air combat with other dragons, as well as ground fights with enemy soldiers.
