) so any opinions on both of these games would be good thanks.

^This. Both are good games, but you'll get much better value for money from Sacred 2 at that price.
I'll list some Pros and Cons for them both if you like (I haven't tried the MP on DH, and have minimal experience on Sacred 2, so this is based on single player mostly. Also, I haven't completed DH yet, but have each character to the mid-teens level):
Dungeon Hunter
+ Nice characters models (although limited variety - 3 males).
+ Nice controls
+ Pretty fun
+ Fairly cool bosses
+ Nice character animations
+ Can respec your build if you mess it up
- Uninspired environments that are obviously grid based
- Pure ranged is hard
- Invisible boundaries where enemies flee combat and fully heal
- Hard to tell what loot you're collecting
- Waste time checking for loot in empty containers
- Annoying, unavoidable acid pools
- Lack of character depth
- No female characters
- Fixed camera
- Have to spam X to shoot missiles
- Can only assign 3 powers for button access
- Very linear
- Only 3 classes to choose from
Sacred 2: Fallen Angel
+ Huge map
+ Incredibly deep character builds
+ Huge variety of loot and monsters
+ Great looking and varied environments with 100s of stunning unique areas
+ Fully open world (rewards exploration)
+ Over 500 side quests
+ Dragons! (and other cool bosses)
+ 7 different classes, all with different abilities
+ Camera can be zoomed and rotated
+ Mounts (horses and unque character mount)
+ Nice controls
+ Can assign 12 abilities for easy access
+ Can create combos to launch several abilities on one button
+ 100s of dungeons
+ Character chest allows equipment to be shared across your characters
- Character animations can be a bit dodgy at times
- Character shading is pretty flat
- Frame rate can suffer if you pull a lot of enemies into the same area
- Bugs can cause characters and/or equipment to stick with you
- Some parts of the map can be hard to navigate if there are complicated walls
- Loading can be annoying if you try to go through a town really quickly
- Can't respec your build
- Wonky auto targetting at times
Level 3
I'm enjoying DHA but one of my characters is lvl 29 and it feels like i'm close to the end, so I need something else to play after this while I wait for BF3. Sacred 2 sounds like it fits the bill, shame you can't respec though because I love to experiment with different abilities and such.
In DHA I spend most of my gold on the respec guy in the town.
