The PressEngine Bot verifies coverage created by video games press as genuine and their own creation. When a member of the video games press is granted a review key for a video game they will create an article, known in the industry as "coverage". When they submit a URL to us as "coverage" we automatically verify this URL exists and is viewable. This automated code announces itself as the PressEngine Bot.
