Currently, on my website ([source world gaming](http://www.sourceworldgaming.com)), I use the $\_GET method to display reviews/news articles. For example, "sourceworldgaming.com/reviews.php?id=40" will display review #40 in the database. 

IGN doesn't do this. For example, they use <http://www.ign.com/games/guild-wars-2/pc-896298> - with no $\_GET[] needed. How is this done? Do they create an index for each individual game?

I want to be able to make the URL sourceworldgaming.com/reviews.php/40

Also, would doing this make my site more search engine friendly? Thanks.
