Having played both, I must say I was more intrigued by The Dig than SC2. Granted, Star Control had a pretty great story arc, but the feel was just very comic-arcade-like. I also played it because it was so hyped and maybe my expectations were just sky high because of that. Then again, I played The Dig much younger as a pre-teen and can still distinctly remember that intro. It was one of the few games that pulled you in just like a movie. The atmosphere was really dense and it felt way more like a movie you could interact with than a game. I didn't care about the shallow, less coherent story back then and I also don't remember it as a game that was so great I wasted months on like XCOM, but it was definitely pretty good.
