A-on is short for Always Online. For this list in particular, it refers to games which have features outside of multiplayer that require a consistent online connection to use. This means that without an online connection, even the single-player modes of the game will be incomplete. As game servers will inevitably go offline as the console gen gets older, this is important to consider for future purchases. For a general rule of thumb, any game that holds multiplayer above single player and any Ubisoft title is suspect to A-on features.

Xbox Live Downloadable Titles
The Xbox Live marketplace requires internet access for many downloadable titles. If you downloaded anything marked "Xbox Live Arcade", it is online only and will not function if the servers are down. Please keep this in mind when buying downloadable games!
