Simple url mod_rewrite .htaccess

Question

I want to change the url from:

http://sitename.com/?game=runescape

to

http://sitename.com/game/runescape

I use $_GET['game'] to request the slug and retrieve data from the database. Does anyone know if this is possible and how?

Yes it's possible. What have you tried? What did you already search for? There are LOADS of tutorials about this all over — Andy Holmes, Mar 04 '14 at 16:18

Yes, I've tried every tutorial out here, but most of them use a different page to access the content like sitename.com/game.php?=runescape — swordsecurity, Mar 04 '14 at 16:26
And Yes! I want something like 'var/value' translated from 'var=value' — swordsecurity, Mar 04 '14 at 16:26

This rule should work for any game:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/game/(.+?)$ index.php?game=$1
