After all, Portal was more than just a massive hit, it was a game that produced memes which have spread as far as to people who have never played or even heard of the game. And at least partially, the reasons this go beyond just the fact that it was a terrifically made game on every level. Certainly, it helped that Portal featured dead on and perfectly responsive controls, had simple yet lovely graphics, wonderful sound design backed by one hell of a vocal performance, an elegantly low key yet highly engaging story, and genuinely original gameplay that legitimately introduced new ideas into the medium in a way that few titles ever truly manage. All of that was certainly vital to the game’s ultimate success, but even so, Portal was also the right game in the right place at the right time.

When compared to Sony's offering? Nope. But if you're not comparing it to Sony's then i said it will be a decent offering.
This month the games dont interest me. But there is always next month...Free is free. Neither of these companies have to give anything for free.
