Developing windows phone 8 games

I was thinking if any one in this community can guide me towards a good tutorial for building windows phone 8 games. I will be starting to create a 3D shooting game.

For WP8 you'll most likely be building your game with XNA. Given that I'd suggest looking for generic XNA examples for what you want to do. Most of the techniques you'll run into will probably port nicely to the phone. That's the road I went down for my WP7 games anyway. :)

Not if he's targeting WP8. XNA support is fine for WP7.5 apps running on WP8 devices, but it's not suitable for WP8.

Not suitable in which terms? I will be using windows phone 8 sdk, not VS 2012 which doesn't allow to create XNA apps.WOuld you recommend DirectX?
