Songs to Listen to While Playing First Person Shooters (FPS) | Part One | Video Games

I have been into video games since I was young. I remember loving the games Contra, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Double Dragon, and Super Mario 3 on the original Nintendo system. When I got older, I asked for a PlayStation One for Christmas, and got really into playing all of the Tomb Raider games.

I eventually graduated to a PlayStation 2, then Playstation 3, and now play games like BioShock, Fallout 4, Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, and The Evil Within 2 on the PlayStation 4. (I also have an Xbox 360, Wii, a PlayStation VR, and an Oculus Rift, just so I'm not missing out on anything ha ha).

If I play any game enough, especially a lengthy game like Fallout 4, I like to listen to music while traveling around, looting, and killing enemies. If you have played a long game many times over, you might get a little bored listening to the game's ambient sounds. I generally play songs whose lyrics are not distracting to me, but match the game's overall mood. I like all types of music, but I mainly listen to rock and pop music.

I have all of these songs on one of my playlists on Spotify. My Spotify user name is angelmc198 and the playlist is called Songs To Listen To While Playing RPG/First Person Shooters. All of the songs on that list are either on my playlists labeled as: Rocklist, Rocklist 2 or Upbeat.
