I think it's probably the "shuffling" drum track that really makes something sound like dubstep and not just dnb or trip-hop.
It's a very hard genre to explain. Reading everyone's posts that are trying to explain make me giggle because I know exactly what everyone is trying to say.

GAME x Yoji is definitely dubstep. I'm listening to it right now~~
I was also thinking of the Beautiful Fighters remix off ayu-mi-6 -GOLD- (don't know the exact remix name).
