I think you guys were missing my point.... although there are a few good songs on this album, imo.
I meant that including a DVD with the CD adds value to the product. It's a good way for Metallica to give something extra to their fans for buying the CD instead of copying it from Kazaa.
As for the "return to Kill 'em All".... please. I've been there... what, about 17 years ago it seems? Don't take me back. I know, I know, it's always cool to say how good a band was back in the day... But that's partly why it was good. It was back in the day.
Oh, and to stay on topic. Metallica video game. Who'da thunk it all those years ago.

Personally, I will just cherish the memory of seeing them at the Tower Theater back in 1985. They opened up with "Fight Fire" and I think the rest speaks for itself...

Metallica Video Game Scrapped
According to the Krawall Gaming Network (KGN) online games magazine, Vivendi Universal Games (VU Games) has abandoned plans to release a multi-platform vehicle combat action game featuring music, voice-overs and inspiration from Metallica. The game, which was announced in June 2003, was reportedly called off because Vivendi felt that the project's creative direction didn't pass the quality standards set by the company.
Metallica had previously signed an exclusive multi-year agreement with Vivendi Universal Games (VU Games) granting the company the worldwide rights to publish and distribute the action game. The game — which was described in a June 2003 press release as "a high-action, third-person vehicle combat game packed with fully customized vehicles and weaponry, endless terrain and desperate, murderous opponents" — was slated to include voice-overs from band members, incidental background music and other exclusive content from Metallica. Under terms of the contract, Metallica were also expected to record an original song exclusively for the game along with a music video featuring elements from the interactive experience
