The Best Buy web site has KAG listed at $19.99.  I did visit a local Best Buy yesterday and they had the price at $39...so this might be an internet only deal.

The April issue of PC Gamer has reviewed KAG and found it to be "good" with a 79% score:

"Though Ahriman's Gift is far superior to the original Kohan, it still feels like the same experience -- and unlike some reduxs, it costs the same as its parent game."

Thanks to Dave Craig for the heads up on this review. :)

Kjellon is back with a new tale: Dearest Treus.  Here's a little teaser...

The mountains north of here rise the highest in all of Khaldun. The tallest peak no one has ever reached but it is rumored that it is there the mighty Johan Javidan sleeps in his amulet waiting for the worthy hero who can free him from his slumber so he can destroy all the evil in this land. He was laid there generations ago. The story has been broken and added to so many times over the years that it is likely the only thing left that is truth is Johan's name...

Sorry for the slow loading of the site...it is a combination of Bravenet being down (where I get the poll and the counter) and the GameSpy ad banner.  I removed the Bravenet tags, so hopefully things will be a little better.

New KIS Film: Spooky+SM2

"Here comes a KIS film which I saved at a game last night when I was at a lan session with a friend of mine. Since we are new to Kohan (just got released in Germany some weeks ago) we are not really into it yet, but as you can see it was a hell of a battle. Motto: 'He who rules the center will win the game!'"

The "One That Started It All" (i.e. Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns) has seen a dramatic price drop at various stores.  So, if you haven't picked up the multi-award winning KIS yet, you can pick it up at a great price.

For example: CompUSA $14.99; EB Games $19.99
