You basically have three options when wanting to create video games:
Create a Silverlight Game
The idea is simple. Just use the default XAML controls to create an awesome game!
Silverlight: Learn: Silverlight.NET
Create a C++/DirectX Game
This is what Microsoft recommends. You have to do no extra work and simply use VS2012 to make an awesome Metro Game.

Create an XNA Game
This is a little more trickier. You need to port it using MonoGame. You can also port your XNA game to Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, and more for free!
