Answer 1

Here is your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/index.php?act=appdetail&appid=oWV$ http://website.com/angry_birds_rio-appdetail-oWVi.html [R=301,L] 

You'll need to inform to web crawlers about the redirection, you cando it with a 301 code.

Answer 2

Appears the rule are .htaccess based; you need an additional set of rules to permanently redirect (301) BROWSER/CRAWLER requests for the index.php pages, if a set of CGI arguments are present, to the appropriate alias, this will tidy up Google in a few weeks. Then your rules above eg

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

#Permanently redirect BROWSER requests for the index.php?xxx to the appropriate page alias:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST}      /index.php     [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}     ^appanme=([^&]+)&act=([^&]+)&appid=([^&]+)&page=([^&]+)&cat=([^&]+)&sString=([^&]+)  [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*                 http://%{HTTP_HOST}/%1-%2-%3-%4-%5-%6.html [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST}      /index.php     [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}     ^appanme=([^&]+)&act=([^&]+)&appid=([^&]+)&page=([^&]+)&cat=([^&]+)  [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*                 http://%{HTTP_HOST}/%1-%2-%3-%4-%5.html   [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST}      /index.php     [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}     ^appanme=([^&]+)&act=([^&]+)&appid=([^&]+)  [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*                 http://%{HTTP_HOST}/%1-%2-%3.html   [R=301,L]

# Followed by: YOUR RULES FROM ABOVE

Note :

1) There appears to be a typo in YOUR second rule: sString=$6 NOT sString=$5

2) The Apache mod_rewrite documentation is worth a read if your unclear as to what the above rules do, or if you want something a little more abstract consider the following post .
