I would vote for using whatever the original box said.
So in case of the first game "Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars" 
and for BS2 "Broken Sword II: The Smoking Mirror", and if we do have to 
shorten them in places: "Broken Sword" (no numeral or anything) and 
"Broken Sword II".


Cheers,
Joost
