1) Positive
2) Turn-based strategy, RPG
3) As a phenomenon, probably not. But if we approach the question more specifically, some works can be called masterpieces.
4) If we're talking about RPGs, then: interesting, non-linear, well-presented plot, gameplay (ease of learning is paramount), extensive and engaging dialogues, graphics. If we're talking about turn-based strategies, then everything comes down to gameplay; the plot and graphics play a secondary or even tertiary role.
5) Deus Ex (the first and third parts), The Witcher (so far, only the first part), Warcraft 2-3, The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind (especially considering the expansions, because the only downside of the main "Morrowind" is the boring main plot), Max Payne.

Барон "Vampires"
Отдай свои прошлые сны,
В сомненьях себя обрети,
В бешеном танце душа кружится!
Не думай, что будет потом,
Здесь и сейчас мы живем,
Стань хоть на миг сам собой, слышишь!
