Microsoft is rumoured to unveil a motion-sensing controller for Xbox 360 at a US press event this week, alongside these Viva Piñata and Banjo Kazooie sequels.

It’s the Microsoft Gamers Day in San Francisco (America) tomorrow. The big rumour is that a Wii-style remote will be shown for the first time, but this could be fan boys getting over excited. Anyway, there’s confirmation of sorts that Banjo Kazooie and Viva Piñata are due to arrive in time for Christmas – a truckload of screenshots for both games have been leaked over the weekend.

Since there’s no information officially released for the games until tomorrow we can only guess at what’s in store. We’d say more of the same for Viva Piñata, but the platform-adventuring antics of Banjo and Kazooie appear to involve more customization and open-world style objectives. The four vehicles – Banjo Plane, Banjo Boat, Banjo Copter, Banjo 4x4 – suggest a massive world to explore.

Also 'leaked' are a bunch of new games for Xbox 360, but exactly what type of game is anyone's guess. Although we'll have a go:

GAME: Ninja Blade
GUESS: Motion sensing ninja action

GAME: Scene It? 2
GUESS: A sequel to Scene It? but we could be wrong

GAME: Lips
GUESS: Mario Kart clone featuring Angelina Jolie and Scarlett Johansson

We’ll have the full report from Gamers Day on Wednesday.
