I seldom play FPS, and when I do it's either Battlefield or TF2.
I do enjoy a third person shooter, APB (it relies heavily on sound)
I opened up foobar and noticed that most of the music is pretty bassy but my mood decided my music choice so it varies from time to time.
I'm a big movie freak so I watch a lot of movies.

If you know a headphone that fits my needs then I would love to know about it. I would prefer it be under $100. I used to own a pair of Denon AH-D2000 but I sold them after 3-5 months of usage because I could not justify the price I paid for them and I did not really have anything to drive them.
 
Right now I am looking at:
Panasonic RP-HTF600S $34
Superlux HD668B $55.44
Samson SR850 $55
JVC HARX700 $36.62
 
Any input is appreciated, thanks.

Add the Creative Aurvana Live! to your list.  More expensive than those already listed, but it fluctuates in price quite a bit and its not hard to catch on sale.  Last week it was $55 at Amazon. 
 
The CAL's use the same drivers that were in the Denon AHD1001.

The HTF600 is fantastic. See review in my sig.
The SR850 is another good one if you want something semi-open and a bright. Again, review in my sig.
 
Overall, I'd go for that Panasonic. It's just a fun smooth headphone. Get the velor pads for increased comfort.
 
Very best,
