After a hiatus, The Fathergamer Podcast is back and better than ever with new faces, new topics, but still discussing all the things you care about. This week, we're introducing the new crew and talking about Bungie's Destiny. 

With whispers of a “shocking announcement” around the corner for the past week, The Pokémon Company and BANDAI NAMCO have collaborated to reveal Pokken Tournament which resembles a mash-up between two popular game series, Tekken and Pokemon.

All sorts of new and amazing games are springing up on Steam Greenlight and Kickstarter.  These are great tools for game developers to present new ideas to the masses, and provides gamers the chance to try out something different. Not all games have a fairy tale ending, however, and sometimes gamers get burned on the promise of something intriguing, only to be completely ignored and cast aside after helping to fund the project.  Such is the case with The Stomping Land, and we decided to look into it. 

Have you ever wondered what it's like to be press at a game convention? This episode is a great look into what went on behind the scenes with our coverage of QuakeCon 2014.

We sit around the table with our SCNS:Live Cinemates and discuss the BYOC, The Evil Within and what its like to cover a convention.

Gamers will undoubtedly remember the huge success of Grand Theft Auto V and will be delighted to hear that this fall the game will be released on the Xbox One, Playstation 4 and PC (though it was officially announced last night during Sony's E3 2014 press conference).  Come inside to check out a new trailer of the game running on PS4!

[Update: Looks like they've announced a release date for everyone else now!] Kickstarter-backers of Broken Age are in for a treat as they are due to recieve the game tomorrow. With a large fanbase following Double Fine's Kickstarter project, Broken Age is expected to be a huge hit.

If you haven’t already, head over to our PS4 review to see what we think of the console itself. In the review we mentioned the PS4 controller needed an article on its own because there are lots of improvements and things to be talked about. Well let’s just say, the controller is finally a step up for the Dualshock, but it has one major drawback.

Earlier this year, Zen Studios released three of their Star Wars themed tables for their incredible Zen Pinball game for PSN and XBLA.  Now Nintendo fans can get in on the action, as this week sees the release of those Star Wars tables on the Wii U system.  Zen Studios was kind enough to let us get our hands on the game early in order to tell you whether or not it’s worth picking up from the Wii U’s eShop.

One thing that had a presence at E3 that wasn’t a big fancy new console was NVidia’s new handheld. The Shield is NVidia’s answer to stay in the gaming market and produce something for gamers. However is the device something Gamers should be looking out for?

The first thing we ever saw for the PlayStation 4 was it's controller, and Sony has been touting it as a unique feature for the system that will enhance our gameplay.  Like we did with the Xbox One controller, we got some time to play around with Sony's fancy new Dualshock 4 and our bringing our first impressions to you. 

Microsoft's E3 press conference was all about the games (mostly) and little attention was paid to the redesigned controller for the Xbox One, which, during their reveal event, they boasted had several significant changes.  We got some hands on time with the new controller to see if the changes are a good thing, or fixing what isn't broken.
