Quite an old topic, but I could go on about both for ages so I'll try to keep it short.
Killer 7 completely floored me. At the time, I had never run into a game so strange, so gloriously violent, so disturbing, yet so deep at the same time (yes, I played the MGS series before playing Killer 7). The psychological implications of the game kept me thinking for literally months and I have to admit every now and then I think of Killer 7 and think, "what did *insert scene/character* really represent? Why? How did it effect the game?" Gameplay wasn't amazing, but the stories of the Killer 7 (or 8 or 9 or 10 depending on your views) was just so mind boggling that it remained one of my favorite GC games of all time if not the entire gen.
No More Heroes on the other hand, is like Suda 51's way of taking a complete s*** on that mantra and going for a stylistic bloodbath with characters that can never be forgotten. What it lacks in pscyhological discussion, it makes up in sheer awesomeness. Sure, the gameplay was a bit bland, but everything from Travis's quips to the characters' names completely made up for it to make it my favorite Wii game after Super Mario Galaxy.
So in the end, it'll be Killer 7 because I'm in a psychological mood. I'm sure that my opinion will change again though after enough time has passed.
