When I press the button to Start Game it goes immediately in the game and also when I unpause the game. Is there anyway to set a timer so a countdown of 3...2...1 will show up then start the game. Also from the unpause action is pressed as well. Thanks.

Yes, you can manually code that in. You'll need to create an integer (or index) attribute and set it to 3. Then, in an actor, you'll need to have a timer that subtracts 1 every second. You can then create an actor to display the countdown and use the integer as a reference for which image/text to display. That's a very brief explanation - hope it helps.
