dt 770 are good for my taste.
Difference is, that everyone have their own preferences and you have to listen to them before buying, otherwise you'll probably end up having some difficulties returning them back to the store.
Oh and make sure to get the lowest impedance version (50 ohms or lower), or you'll have to use/buy an amp.

open or closed headphones? Open headphones usually have better soundstage and feels more "airy", closed headphones usually have better bass, or atleast more punch in the bass. Open back headphones are generally seen as better than closed back, but of course you sacrifice isolation.
Anyways I've read great things about Philips Fidelio X2, I haven't tried them myself though.

Sennheiser HD 598 are very popular headphones aswell, not sure if they're as suited to gaming as dt 770 and X2 though.

Whatever you choose I recommend you to try out the headphones you're interested in, if possible. I was set on buying the DT 880s after just reading about them online, but when I went to try them out I also tried Sennheiser HD 600 and greatly prefered them over the 880s.

dt880s are good. I've had mine for a couple years now. They're a lot better sound wise than the dt770s.

Dave_dt880s are good. I've had mine for a couple years now. They're a lot better sound wise than the dt770s.
I tried them for 2 hours or so at a local store, and I found them to have too much sibilance, almost hurt. Also saying "sound wise" doesn't really say much, you need to be more specific, what was better?
Found a guy on a forum saying "I really enjoy my dt770. On the other hand I really hated dt880" (http://www.head-fi.org/t/723025/philips-fidelio-x2/3930#post_11378390), so it's definitely not as simple as you made it seem.

They have a better frequency response + soundstage. If they're too sibilant just get the 600ohms; they are less sibilant than the 250 and 32ohm. If you're looking for something that's more neutral, the dt880 is a better headphone. If neutral isn't what you want/the sibilance bothers you, get the 600ohm or just use a diff amp idk. I don't have that issue with my current amp/dac.
If you're seriously considering them/on the fence between them, read this, specifically post 2: http://www.head-fi.org/t/258751/dt770-vs-dt880
