They have been at the center of most of the big review score fiascoes that have happened since their site launched (Diablo 3/Sim City/The Last of Us) and they seem to have a strong bias towards Xbox over Playstation. They are the first site I think of whenever the subject of paid reviews comes up.

Why do people not like Kotaku? Not defending, just curious. Anyone have specific examples on what gets them so much hate?
