Why have most of the extra-solar planets so far discovered been super massive "hot Jupiters"?

I always assumed it was because they are the easiest to detect with our burgeoning technology to find extra-solar planets.
The thought of a Jupiter-sized or even larger gas giant whizzing around a sun at the same distance Mercury is from our sun is pretty amazing.
