It depends on your purpose. If your goal is to get a game controller connected to your project, go with a simpler controller like an 80's SNES or similar. There are cheap clones out there made for hobbyists.

On the other hand, if your goal is to work with USB in particular, that's a big topic. Probably too big for a beginner. You should start with the mouse example project in the DE2-115 CDROM. Go to USB.org and download the USB 2 spec and the HID spec. You might look on the web to see if someone else has done it. There are other USB host demos and tutorials out there. Happy reading.
