title: C# Game Development for Windows Phone 8?
body: <p>I am interested at trying my skills at game development.  I am a fairly good C# developer.  But my current skill set is in application development (WPF, WCF and Entity Framework).</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to figure out how to make a graphical game for Windows Phone 8.  But all the examples I see (for games) are using C++.</p>
  
  <p>8+ years ago I was a C++ Game Developer, but I have forgotten most of those skills (I doubt they would be useful now days anyway).  </p>
  
  <p>I am not looking for 3D rendering.  Just a nice 2D (Tower Defense) game.</p>
  
  <p>I would rather code in C# if possible. <strong>Can game development be done using C#?</strong>  </p>
  
  <p>If so, a pointer on where to start would be appreciated.</p>
