If you look at the labels of the "newfangled" creatine products, they will reveal their lower value. Let's take a look at Celltech, for example. The label makes it look like it provides more creatine per serving, but when you compare the serving sizes and number of servings per container of Celltech to other similar brands, Celltech just has you take twice as big of a serving size, and provides half as many servings per container. Pay attention!
And when you get to liquid creatine or creatine serums; no contest. They are very poor values when it comes to the price per gram of creatine. If you look closely, many of them don't even say that their creatine is the monohydrate (the most researched) form. It could be citrate or other forms, which are not proven as effective.
HMB is not as good as the Leucine (BCAA) is is made from, and really isn't the most effective part of the creatine supplements it is added to. TMG is something we played around with back in the '80s, but didn't seem to last.
I still recommend adding plain old creatine monohydrate powder to a drink, about an hour before an intense, anaerobic workout. Look at the SNS Creatine for comparison.
