You are lucky the infection was so obvious. An advanced attacker could have modified the game executable to contain an embedded payload that is decrypted and executed during gameplay. I find the idea of relying on a downloaded ISO a bit dubious, but if you persist in that route, I suggest finding someone you trust and getting them to give you the digest (md5, sha1, etc.) of their game disc so you can verify that the ISO you pick has not been modified.
Well, the second I mounted the image, the game auto-played and Norton popped up saying bin4 had a trojan in it. I figured if I disabled auto-play, mounted the image and copied the contents, had Norton remove the trojan, then burned the disc or re-imaged it, then it would be safe, but this seems too complicated for me, and also too risky which is why I've decided to go the Amazon.com route.
